(sigh) I knew that. I was careless to ask what I asked about that.

What is the (range of) sizes (in megabytes) of the current Fedora-42
workstation kernel?
How much of a difference does it make whether it's Gnome or KDE?
These are all Fedora 41 with KDE
- laptop 1 - 146M
- laptop 2 - 44M
- laptop 3 - 139M
- laptop 4 - 43M
- home theater - 65M
The size is very much dependent on the hardware and software in question.
Understood.

{discussion of nvidia's drivers on the kernel}
Understood.
Fortunately, the new desktop uses a Radeon card, not an nvidia card. I
learned from the old desktop how much trouble nvidia drivers can be.
