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 took my existing JPEG file, compressed it using JXL, 15% smaller.
Then I decompressed it again into JPEG. The file was bit-for-bit identical to the original file (same hash). Blew my mind!
Directly using JXL is even better of course.
So it's called xlarge... And it makes files smaller.
Why.
The same amount of JXL gives you more image than JPEG? Also, it supports ridiculous resolutions (terapixel).
this has been a bit of a meme, but if you wanted to look at XL as extra large, then that could refer to the max resolution which is far great. I've seen people refere to it as "extra long-term" but I think the real reason is they just wanted to fuck with us
