I’ve been using gparted live for the most part to repair all sorts of stuff, but I’m wondering if anyone else has any other more modern recommendations, preferably even ones with Wifi or more graphics card support!
I also find installing deb packages to be way slower than they should be on a modern system (what are deb packages doing that alpine apk and arch packages don’t??)
Bonus if they boot fast, too.
Based on the title, I misunderstood as “oh shit I messed up real bad while booted into this ISO”. (I have that one too.)
Until recently I have been switching between Ubuntu ISO and custom Arch ISO. Now I have a regular Arch install on a fast USB drive for repairs (not ISO).
Grub rescue disk is nice for when you fuck up your boot loader. Can detect many installed OSes and allow you to get back into them and fix things with less fussing around https://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/

That’s the one
I just keep Linux Mint XFCE, it even has a boot repair tool which can even fix windows boot problems. It has gparted, gnome disks both. Also you can connect to internet and browse.
