Dr.Parted Live is a excellent option for anyone needing a reliable and user-friendly solution for managing disks and recovering data. It comes with most of the stuff on Parted Magic but uses a lighter desktop with quick access keys displayed. No need to be a Linux expert to use Dr.Parted.
The intuitive graphical interfaces make it accessible for both beginners and seasoned users alike. Very small ISO size for old 1GB USB drive. Unlike Gparted live, this distribution has very good support for wireless internet.I recommend for testing.

It provides a large variety of Linux tools and configurability, to allow for an experienced Linux user or a person performing a role such as "Network Administrator" to accomplish tasks and fix problems that something like a "desktop" installer distro is not capable of.
In an ever-changing digital landscape, Dr.Parted Live on USB stands out as an essential tool for anyone serious about data protection and system management.
Also, Dr.Parted Live does load up with Ventoy, so it will be a handy tool when I need it again. I hope that you have the same good fortune with it.

Quick booting no fuss rescue/partitioning disk utility that I'm happy to add to my Ventoy stick.
As a free alternative to Parted Magic it's fine, but obviously not as polished. I don't mind paying for Parted Magic but I do object strongly to their frequent updates (5 in one year) which they expect you to shell out full price again for - very greedy! And not really needed as I'm still using a 2019 copy i did pay for and it still works when I occasionally use it for rescuing files off a Windows hard drive or basic partitioning.
Back to Dr Parted, it comes with most of the stuff on Parted Magic but uses a lighter desktop with quick access keys displayed. These are mostly not needed because right clicking the desktop brings up the menu anyway.
The inbuilt browser is very basic and doesn't show the right layout of the BBC website I tested it on. Just a load of jumbled graphics and some hyperlinks. There is the option to download Firefox or Chromium, so I installed Chromium and that works as expected.
I ran the included htop command and it was using 400 MB of RAM which is pretty decent and useful for an old PC with limited RAM to play with.
Very small ISO size that should fit on a 1GB USB stick, if you have such a thing lying around that never got used!

Free alternative to Parted Magic: This is a great option for those who are familiar with Parted Magic and are looking for a free alternative.
Lightweight and user-friendly: Especially for LXDE users, Dr.Parted Live seems to offer a familiar and smooth experience.
Powerful tools for troubleshooting: The boot options and included applications like Clonezilla seem very helpful for diagnosing and fixing boot issues.
Fast and efficient: Booting in seconds and having a streamlined interface are definite advantages, especially in time-sensitive situations.
Focus on a "quick and dirty" workflow: This can be very useful for getting tasks done efficiently, especially for experienced users.
Overall, Dr.Parted Live seems like a great addition to any technician's toolkit, or for anyone who needs a lightweight and effective solution for disk management and system repair.

im super happy that there is a free alternative now for the parted magic. Also tiling window manager is super cool.
Tho there was some one click took that didnt work. Maybe it was boot repair. Or maybe i just didnt know how to start it properly.
I often, or from time to time use the clonezilla. And the possibility to also be able to browse while you are clonning some computers disk is awesome.
What else can i say here. I also find it kinda funny that the boot repair disk now has become a full fledged linux mint boot cd. So probably this tool would be a perfect replacement for it. Because downloading something of a size less that the 1GB i find much more convenient that download multiple gigabytes disk.

I tried Dr,Parted Live for the kernel version it had. When I booted into the OS, I felt very familiar to the distro as a previous LXDE user. Everything was smoothly progressing. I had an impression that I was using the distro for a long time. It was stable and lightweight.
In the days, I tried Dr.Parted Live, I was trying to figure out the problem in a laptop not completing the boot process. One of Dr.Parted Live's boot options ("failsafe boot") helped me finding the problem in the laptop (I used kernel boot option lines systematically to diagnose the problem). The situation also added to my positive feelings about Dr.Parted Live.

I'm adding Dr. Parted to the 6 other live rescue & repair distros I keep on a USB drive and boot from Ventoy. I've tested and deleted quite a few others. The ones that didn't get deleted each have something unique that makes them indispensable to me. And at this point I didn't think I'd find another one. But with Dr. Parted being a completely new distro, I couldn't resist checking it out.
There's a certain amount of overlap with most of these distros and many have nearly identical app lists. So it often comes down to the one you're most comfortable with or which one boots faster. What made me decide to keep this one is the fact that it's so "streamlined" I guess is the best word. It also has what I would call an elegant interface. I'm actually impressed with this being the developer's first version of a distro placed in a rather crowded field and yet they hit it right out of the park. I just immediately liked it.
There are download links to several apps which aren't installed like Vim, Boot-repair and Firefox. I've already got those in another distro. And I'm guessing they excluded them to keep the initial size of the package to a minimum. I also think some of the included apps were chosen due to their small size. For example the installed browser is NetSurf. It starts nearly instantly and is fairly minimal compared to Firefox and others. You'll find everything about this distro lends itself to a "quick and dirty" workflow.
Something I really liked about this distro is that it boots in seconds which is something that cannot be said for most of the others. That causes me to choose a distro like this one as a "go to" tool for the job knowing it's going to be up and running quickly.
It comes with Conky running with a list of keyboard shortcuts which immediately sped up my workflow. That was a nice touch. Also, you can simply right click anywhere on the desktop to bring up the app menu which again speeds things up.
If you're thinking you've seen all the rescue disks and this is probably just more of the same, as I was, you might be pleasantly surprised.
