I'm using an Asus M16 laptop with CachyOS and I'm loving it, but I've hit a snag. About once a month, I find that I can't update my kernel because my boot filesystem is completely full. I've tried cleaning it up using resources online, but just a few updates later and it's full again. When I check my kernel list, there's only the one I'm currently using, so I'm a bit puzzled. People have mentioned that re-partitioning might be necessary, but I really want to avoid a fresh install since I've spent a lot of time configuring my programs. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

If your /boot partition is only 1GB, that might be the issue. It's pretty likely that with each update, it's filling up quickly. If you ran `df -h`, you might have noticed that. Consider cleaning out old kernels if necessary to free up space.
Are you sure you're not using disk encryption? That could explain why you have a separate /boot partition. Sometimes, when using Arch-based systems, the kernel ends up in the EFI partition. It would help to check your disk usage with the `df -h` command to get a clearer picture.
I'd check if a lot of old kernel versions are taking up space. Maybe you can manually remove them? Just be careful to keep the current one you're using!
