well dangit.
So, for a start, we have the NVIDIA bloat - additional 65M of NVIDIA firmware - because apparently yes, you can have an aarch64 system with a NVIDIA GPU you actually use to drive the display. So we're stuck with that. There's an additional 10MB of qcom firmware in lib/firmware/qcom/x1e80100/LENOVO/83ED that's apparently there to support the "Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Snapdragon platform". See https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/qcom/x1e80100/LENOVO/83ED?id=c0a41b80076051e31da48f3dcb5115672a370c89 . Mark, are we going to get another 10MB (compressed) of firmware every time Lenovo makes a new aarch64 system? That's...kind of a pain (it doesn't only affect the somewhat-arbitrary media size limits, but also initramfs sizes, which can fill up people's /boot partitions, and make low-memory systems fail to boot at all). We also have podman in the image now, whose deps eat up several MB. sigh. See https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/5285 . But good news, finally found something I *could* chop out: tigervnc! anaconda dropped VNC support last year, but lorax is still installing tigervnc to the installer env, which pulls in X.org. Dropping tigervnc from lorax saves about 20MB, which is enough to get us under the limit again. Sent https://github.com/weldr/lorax/pull/1495 .
Hi Adam, Bit of a tough one to answer as the Qualcomm platforms aren't yet in the Linux program so I don't know what the future holds. This particularl FW was uploaded by me at the request of the community to make the experience on the ARM laptops better. My guess is....I think it's likely to continue as the FW is unique per platform (we're seeing it on x86 with ISH FW too I'm afraid) For the short term - those can safely be removed for a server image if there's a way to do that. It's not a server platform - and wouldn't make sense to be used as one (though I have seen customers do weirder things). There should also be other files there for the T14s and X13s which are taking up space if that helps? Mark
I'm not sure we can actually vary the packages pulled in by lorax by variant, actually. but yeah, if we could, we could strip some stuff from Server, but it doesn't help Everything, and it doesn't help the 'low RAM' case - we've had pi zeros not booting this cycle because there's too much stuff in the initramfs, partly driven by firmware bloat :(

FEDORA-2025-d2a4ad264a (lorax-43.11-3.fc43) has been submitted as an update to Fedora 43. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-d2a4ad264a
bcl didn't respond to my ping yesterday, so since we're hitting the weekend and getting close to freeze, I went ahead and backported the tigervnc change myself and submitted it as a fix for this. It *should* be perfectly safe (famous last words).
FEDORA-2025-d2a4ad264a has been pushed to the Fedora 43 testing repository. Soon you'll be able to install the update with the following command: `sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing --refresh --advisory=FEDORA-2025-d2a4ad264a` You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-d2a4ad264a See also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for more information on how to test updates.

If folks can test/karma the update, that'd be great. You can build an image yourself, or verify that openQA did one and it worked, or eyeball the change - https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/lorax/c/f46393ae32461a10a936776532ef3eea7b0ca630?branch=f43 .
