So I would be using a few 10 year old debian installs by now if the boot partition size didnt run out.
Im thinking about making my /boot 16gb. Is that way too big or way too small or reasonable?
Also since boot/efi only uses like 13mb im assumimg i can leave it with 600mb?
I only want to upgrade one installation infinitely, no multi os.
Manually doing the /boot partition should never need more than the present 2G that is created automatically by f44 installs. If you choose to make it larger then probably a cap at 5G should be acceptable to avoid wasting excessive space.
Unless you plan on pinning lots of deployments then you won’t need a 16GB /boot partition.
Why, Fedora wont exist in a 100 years, neither will you.
I just got back from the future, and the firmwares for NVIDIA’s latest mecha suit are freaking ginormous.
So, a couple of terabytes would be safe, I guess.
At the current rate of growth, AMDGPU and nouveau will cause initramfs image to grow to 1Gb+ within ten years.
Your hardware will likely not last 100 years.
I would recommend setting 1 GB for the ESP and 2 GB for /boot if you have space to spare.
I’d recommend a large ESP (something like 5GB) because within the next 100 years there will be a time where UKI kernels will be fashion and they reside on your ESP, not your /boot.
Also, I would recommend to switch the “RHEL Forever”, just make sure your kids inherit your forever license.
