If it doesn't burn fossil fuels they don't like it, same mentality that leads to "rolling coal".

I'd double check, if you haven't picked an option specifically it might just default to the fallback (i.e. BOOTX64) It'll be under the boot device order section.

(Not my picture, stole it from Reddit)

Here it's listing all the possible boot options this mobo can find, but there's a generic "UEFI OS" option which I'd bet is the fallback. And once a choice is made it's kept unless something resets it, so if it just happened to be set to the fallback once it'll stick with that until a change is forced.

When installing windows while there is a Linux install, windows will see the EFI partition already there and just decides to share it, and doesn’t create its own.

That's what it's supposed to do, it's a plain FAT32 partition, the bootloaders are just files you put in there.

Part of the issue is that while a well-made motherboard will look for all bootloaders on the partition and present them as options in the firmware UI, bad ones will only look for a specific file (\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI) and use that. For an OS to have a chance of booting on those boards it has to overwrite that file, blowing away whatever other bootloader was there before.

It's annoying, since Windows is mostly well behaved here (It puts the main copy of the bootloader at \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi and Linux bootloaders can see that and offer it, the reverse isn't true) and can co-exist with Linux well (Well...), but manufacturers cutting corners causes more problems for everybody.

Unfortunately I'm not finding much explicit information on the specific processes, just that it's possible.

• Wikipedia says it's infinitely recyclable
• So does this waste disposal place
• The Australian CSIRO also says it's "endless"
• Alternatively, this PDF from a state government here says it's often mixed in with virgin materials, but doesn't mention why.

Now of course just because it can be recycled indefinitely, doesn't mean it is in practise. Could be contamination, colouring, or just plain cost.

Glass and plastic both require virgin material, else you’d get garbage out.

Everything I'm reading suggests the problem with glass recycling is contamination, and that once that's accounted for what's left over can be infinitely recycled without quality loss.

Socialism is when you want speed limits

The CPU usage spikes aren’t necessarily from React Native itself being particularly heavyweight, but rather from the fundamental architectural choice of running a web-based rendering engine for core system UI elements.

And there's still web directories hanging around, similar to the now dead dmoz site.

https://url.town/ and https://curlie.org/ for example

The likes of both Microsoft and Apple are openly hostile to such frameworks (QT and GTK come to mind).

Funny thing, the OneDrive client app that ships with Windows, uses Qt

React Native doesn't render using a browser instance, it's native code (as the name implies), it's actually a layer over WinUI 3 (Previous versions used WPF/UWP)

So it's in the same boat as MAUI, which is also a layer over WinUI 3.

It's soup level when you don't notice it's defrosting for 4-5 months.

(and why isn’t spell check core Windows functionality?)

It actually is, introduced in Windows 8, it's just taken devs ages to actually start using it (Notepad only got it last year, 12 years after it was introduced)
