From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I’ve gathered a meta-tracker for the adoption state of futuristic technologies.

A reminder: Google added support for and then subsequently dropped JPEGXL support in Chrome. Fuck Google.

Well of course. Those bastards want everyone to use their stupid WebP format.

On a related note, how does JPEGXL compare to PNG? Does it support layers?
