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.

I also like https://www.system-rescue.org/, it also has a menu entry that will detect and boot into installed Linux systems.
Remember that you can use Ventoy as a super simple method of using these tools. Ventoy will prepare a flash drive with a tool that, when booted, will give you a menu of all the ISO images on the drive and lets you boot any of them. You can have a drive with a collection of rescue tools, install ISO's, whatever you want, and it's as easy as dropping the ISO's on there. You can also use that partition to store your own files or whatever you want, it doesn't mind.
