Systemrescue is a pretty fine live system for such tasks. It's mostly centered around data recovery, and recovering a fucked up distro by having firefox, keepass and such. It starts in a text terminal, but it only takes a startx to start a graphical environment.
It looks pretty good. I remember another distribution called kaspersky rescue disk, but it was mostly focused on malware analysis and removal, but it seems that it was discontinued
I can't tell you what I would do for a remindme bot now to know to check back later
Don't forget about this
Back in the day we used Knoppix, I know it still exists, but no clue if it's still viable?
Something like gparted ? It is specifically designed to manage disks and partitions from a live OS.
Medicat USB has a few hardware diagnostics tools on it. It's based on Ventoy, so it's more like a collection of ISOs as opposed to a single distro.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
