Hi there. I have Lineage 22.2 installed on my Pro 1X and still shows an update to 22.2 about 1Gb. Is it normal? Can i proceed with the update? Thanks

Yes, that´s a normal file size for a currently update.

Remember, the updates are not just what is being added... they are the whole package with the updates integrated.  (They don't disturb your settings and data).

The point is that the updates are not incremental. The weekly OTAs each time contain the full ROM, even if changes relative to the previous one are minor or non-existing.

The idea behind the a/b partitioning scheme is to keep the previous version of the system intact for backup, while flashing a completely new version of the OS to the respective other slot with every update. This is to make sure one of the slots always contains a working OS, even in case of a bad flash or faulty download.

Well it is a choice. They COULD have made the update system as a primary version and then a series of deltas. The flipside of that would be that any reinstalls or new installs would require to first load the old full and then maybe scores of updates, installing all in the same partition, and this could be slow. And it would add some extra complexity in generating and applying the deltas. It is much simpler to just have a source that builds a total, and then distribute that, despite the extra traffic, and slower installs than the delta could have given, if it started by making a copy of the running partition and then applied the delta.
