Change from mkinitcpio to booster. It's faster and produce smaller images.
Dracut or Genkernel?

Neither, use booster.
Booster initramfs release 0.9 got ZFS support
1 project | /r/zfs | 24 Aug 2022

Booster is an initramfs - a type of software that runs early during the boot process and helps to setup system, e.g. perform disk unlock, load extra drivers, setup ZFS filesystem, and so on.
You can end up without any kernel to boot if your computer crashes during a pacman update

I don't have high hopes that this will change in mkinitcpio, but perhaps you could bring it up with booster (which copied the mkinitcpio hooks and removal scripts)

initramfs: booster - TPM2 support, way faster than mkinitcpio, autodiscovering root partition
Complex Issue:
2 projects | /r/archlinux | 28 Mar 2022

Note I'm using booster, so assuming you're using the default mkinitcpio you probably want /boot/initramfs-linux.img. Also, don't forget to modify if your ESP isn't mounted at /boot like mine.

GPT table detection has higher priority at booster code. But for some reason it does not identify your partition table as GPT. Filed a github bug for it https://github.com/anatol/booster/issues/119

Hello everyone! Does anybody know how to restore the default black/white Suse logo? I have looked through all the icons 3 times but couldn't find it. Tried to 'reset' the app icon and got KDE default dots-logo, but I would love to have the chameleon back!
