Plans to compress Fedora firmware |
 |
Feodra 33 is still on the horizon, but some developers are already looking ahead to how the next version of the distribution can be improved. One of the proposed changes suggests compressing Linux firmware to reduce the amount of disk space required. "Since the linux 5.3 kernel there has been support for loading firmware from xz compressed firmware. The upstream linux-firmware respository is now over 900Mb, not including other kernel firmware that are in Fedora but come from other sources. By compessing the firmware with "xz -C crc32", the only option currently supported in the kernel, we can reduce the ondisk size of the firmware by almost half."
