I'm a just a small town AAA graphics programmer in Chicago. I worked on Gears 5 and Gears Tactics. My work is secret, but my personal projects are not.

I like to post about my personal research, various side projects, and I like to think out loud a lot. Expect weird humor, esoteric ramblings, and occasionally also art I made out of math. I like implicit surface modeling the normal amount. Amateur spoonie. 🏳️‍⚧️

Curses are just blessings with caveats.

I did a full write up on Cohost because I don't love making threads here: https://cohost.org/klara/post/6082327-boot-efi-pop-os-a

But the short of it is that Pop OS gave me a 512M /boot/efi partition, and with 240M(!) initrd.img files coming with current kernels, the math just doesn't work anymore.

And while I can imagine various rabbit holes to go down to deal with this, I don't know which will be how painful. (I'm already using "COMPRESS=xz".)

@klara so, if it were me, I would probably grab a "live usb" version of popos if they provide one (usually distro installers are this these days anyway) and use gparted to very carefully resize your partitions and shuffle them over so you can expand the boot partition in place. The Arc Linux wiki states that a 1GB boot partition is recommended for UEFI boot partitions when you intend to have multiple kernels.

@klara obviously back up your shit before hand. If the live usb is also your distro installer, it can come in handy to recover if something gets mildly screwed up, since it only really needs to rebuild the boot partition.
