  My city started doing a similar thing. Their contracted recycling plants started rejecting the truck loads because they were seeing less than 40% recyclable content in the shipments. Lots of people overestimate how much of their trash is recyclable, and over-utilize the recycling bin.

  Apparently the recycling plants will accept as low as 50% recyclable content in the load, anything under that they for a prolonged period, they start rejecting the loads.

  So for a year our city was just taking the recycling bin loads to the landfill. Years ago most cities could just sell it directly to China, ship it over on enormous garbage boats, but even China has stopped accepting our nonsense.

  Our city had to do a big re-education campaign, and send out new stickers for the bin lids, to get residents to put only recyclable things in the recycle bins.

  I use a whole bunch of Linux distros at work (rhel, ubuntu, debian, opensuse) and a bunch on my devices at home (mint, fedora, nobara, and manjaro), and so far the only distro I’ve seen ship decoupled shared electron libs like you described is Manjaro (and presumably Arch).

  Well, now we know it’s a pair of slow motion side cutters in your bag that causes it. Hooray for science, and the human pursuit of knowledge.

  Silly clickbait title. I knew about Linux since 1999 when I was 13 years old. Its the commonly used operating system in the world. Its no secret.
