I personally always have one USB stick with me that has a live usb boot of Fedoraon it, but I just saw the new video from Linus tech tips and thought about extending it a bit.
He mostly talked about windows tools, but I think I will add
- https://www.ventoy.net/en/download.html for maybe an additional Linux light version
- https://github.com/TheWaWaR/simple-http-server if I have to share files from a broken Computer or so.
What are you using or do you have recommendations?
An adapter that turns my laptop into a KVM. Also a foldable wireless keyboard. I used to carry a travel router that would VPN me home.
Hiren’s boot CD
It’s a small ISO with tons of utilities on it. It’s great for recovering data if shit goes really south. I always have one handy.
Edit: toss it onto your ventoy stick
I used to carry Tails around on a tiny USB drive in case I wanted to do something on an untrusted machine, but a) the USB device I chose got stupidly hot, and b) I never actually needed to use it since I carry a smartphone everywhere, so I stopped.
I usually just carry around a few ISOs with Ventoy. More specifically, a Win10 ISO, Ubuntu ISO, Arch ISO, Tails (not iso but who cares), and a few others that I wanna be able to install if I ruin my current system to the point I can’t boot it properly. I just noticed I still need a Fedora ISO. After watching the LTT video too, I’m looking into all of those cool utilities too, don’t have any recommendations yet tho.
