I've used finnix forever as my go to live recovery distro, and have never heard of knoppix.
From a cursory search, it appears that finnix is focused on the command line while knoppix provides a desktop environment. Don't most distros offer live boot environments these days? I know I've done this with Fedora, Debian, Suse, and Alpine at least..

- darkwater 10mo agoYeah, in my book (used Knoppix, never heard of or don't remember Finnix), Knoppix had 2 uses: restore systems but primarily try out if Linux worked on an unknown PC. And also run Linux on Windows PCs at school.
