I dual-boot Windows and Fedora on a machine with GRUB. Whenever I update Fedora or its Linux kernel, it generates a new disk image in /boot thus creating another boot option when loads GRUB. However, Arch Linux on another machine whenver I update the distro or its kernel, there's no change in /boot.
Forgive me if I have a flawed understanding of how this works; when the Linux kernel or distro get updated and a new boot image gets updated, wouldn't that mean previous versions of the image are essentially deprecated, shouldn't they just be deleted (hence replaced by its updated counterpart)?
Why does a new and different image generate in /boot? Is it safe to simply delete previous versions?
I thank Rui F Riberio for the information.
The boot images of previous kernel versions can be removed by deleting initramfs-X.XX.XX and vmlinuz-X.XX.XX. After that, I update GRUB with
# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
