Sudden increases in the size of Fedora’s initramfs files have prompted the project to fast-track a proposal to increase the default size of the /boot partition for new installs of Fedora 43 and later. The project has also walked back a few changes that have contributed to larger initramfs files, but the ever-increasing size of firmware means that the need for more room is unavoidable. The Fedora Engineering Steering Council (FESCo) has approved a last-minute change just before the final freeze for Fedora 43 to increase the default size of the /boot partition from 1GB to 2GB; this will leave plenty of space for kernels and initramfs images if a user is installing from scratch, but it is of no help for users upgrading from Fedora 42.

    I do a custom install with systemd-boot where i have one 2 GB EFI partition that’s mounted at /boot; used to be at /efi but it bothered me I can’t tab-complete /etc. I’ve been wanting to give UKI a go but can’t get around to it.
