Did the kernel get a lot bigger recently? (lemmy.world)

I have a 500MB boot partition, and I keep only the linux and linux-lts kernels.

Recently I see that the partition only has about 23Mb free.

Is there some recent change which increased the kernel's size significantly?

hello, do you mean editing the MODULES in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf? since afaik and after searching in the arch wiki and in the arch packages, I couldn't find mention of update-initramfs or /etc/initramfs-tools. This wiki page edits /etc/mkinitcpio.conf.

Probably, I was going by memory and these filenames are tricky 😅
