"50MB of EFI should be enough for me"
Also me:
```
/boot/efi does not have sufficient space, required 45.1 MB, need additional 1.2 MB
```

@highvoltage I started to get rid of the boot partition recently and do a reasonably sized efi partition instead. I generate the efi images myself and directly boot to them (without grub).
I like the experience. Some old installs still have small EFI partitions which means 2 kernels at a time at most.
@ttyS1 @highvoltage I’ve been meaning to look into that. Do you not use something like rEFInd either?
@jmtd @ttyS1 Nope, just plain GRUB. GRUB just needs less than 6MB so I thought I'd be fine. The problem is all the *huge* firmware updates that also need to fit there. UEFI is just such a huge mess on consumer hardware. On my ThinkPad, I tried to wireless netboot, but when I have WiFi enabled in my firmware setup, the keyboard doesn't work in the firmware setup program. At some point while trying to fix this I even somehow removed the BIOS setup program alltogether. Urgh!
