So I do an update of Debian Sid, and it starts updating initrd images,
and continues, continues, continues.... 25 kernels from 6.10.11 to
6.12.27.
 
Purged 22 of them. FTS. FFS.

I feel your pain:

_[/boot]_(vallor@lm)🐧_
$ ls vmlinuz-* | wc -l
33

Almost all of those are manually-installed, so the Mint software updater
won't touch them.  (You can set it to keep only two distro kernels.)

Meanwhile, I have some of this going on:

_[/home/vallor/OS]_(vallor@lm)🐧_
$ ls -d linux-*[0-9] | wc -l
70

70 built kernels, which I need to start removing (or run "make clean")
to make room on the NAS.
