I'm wondering why the release and recovery images both exist. Are there limits in some UEFIs for example in terms of size? Or improved security/reduced attack surface perhaps? If on my system the Recovery image works just fine, anything wrong with just using it all the time to boot? I think it's kinda nice to always have the tools available, just in case, don't need to check notes how to boot the recovery image when things are broken. |

There's nothing wrong with using the recovery image all the time. Nothing ever automatically configures a network interface / binds to it, so it's just as safe to run as the slightly smaller release image. The only meaningful difference is that the recovery image is ~15MB larger due to additional drivers/firmware, and a few userland tools. |
