To give a use-case. I, like many others, have started to use thinclients as powerful-enough home/LAN servers. One such "beast" is an Igel with 2GB of flash storage. That would be plenty if not for the linux-firmware choice that Ubuntu makes. Sure, I can work around it, but why do I have to?
I am happy to see the size come back down to around half a gig but it is still kind of fat. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1958518 Title: split some large, lesser-used firmware files into -extra package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/1958518/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
