I have a 500MB boot partition, and I keep only the linux and linux-lts kernels.

Recently I see that the partition only has about 23Mb free.

Is there some recent change which increased the kernel's size significantly?

I thought I removed linux-firmware-nvidia but I guess not.

sudo pacman -R linux-firmware
sudo pacman -Rns linux-firmware-nvidia

This did the trick, thank you! Cut my fallback.img sizes almost in half!
