Low disk space warning (at /boot) on GDM login screen

This occurs in both GNOME40 and 3.38, and happened after login too, but after-login can be turned off in housekeeping.

This does not occur in SDDM or LightDM.

I don't know how to turn the warning off, as this is non-sense.

Is your /boot partition low on space or is this an error?

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Yes.

It's the partition created by Windows, very small, before I install GRUB into it.

Re: Low disk space warning (at /boot) on GDM login screen

You could avoid this properly by generating your kernel images into your root partition and only keep GRUB on /boot (... or rather the ESP). To do that I'd unmount /boot, remount the ESP to something like /efi or so and copy over the initramfs and vmlinuz images and the grub folder to /boot (which should now be the directory and not the ESP) and then reinstalling/regenerating GRUBs config.
