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.

But JPEG XL is better
Idk I didn’t make that meme. I prefer JPEG XL anyway.

Is there openh265?
The above codecs-extra change meant that we now didn’t really have an use case for org.freedesktop.Platform.openh264 since codecs-extra had FFMPEG’s internal H.264 decoder and the libx264 encoder.
Sounds like it was basically replaced with codecs-extra
