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 agree. Jxl is superior.
Jpeg XL is such an unsexy name though. (In my opinion) JPEG is already seen as an ancient format, there are plenty of even main stream memes about it's artifacting quirks. And now you just want to slap more stuff on it? Make it extra large. Sounds like bloat to me!
To be real for a second; I'm sure it's a fine format and suited for the future, but the name really does put me off it a bit 😄
I do kinda agree. That's everyones first impression when I talk about it. So you want bigger jpeg?
Just call it jxl I think.
