  • It seems like the real thing boils down to individual use case. WebP & WebM being a Google project has me uncertain out the gate. Looking at the format variances highlights this aspect:

    “A few studies suggest that WebP compresses data more efficiently than JPEG or JPEG 2000. The benefits of file size reduction are especially noticeable for smaller files.”

    “A well-optimized JPEG can be as good as or better than WebP at the higher end of the quality spectrum.”

    “One of the main drawbacks of WebP is not all browsers support it yet. Only about 80% of the existing browsers offer WebP support.”

    “PNG photos are of higher quality (lossless) and the texts are clear.”

    So, for basic use WebP has an obvious benefit, but went photo editing and overall clarity are considered, then PNG or JPEG seems to be more reasonable.

    To up load multiple pics you can use PNGs and throw them together in a simple editor making one file. Hopefully this won’t be needed in the near future though.

  • There’s a bit of a learning curve to dial in all the stuff you regularly do with windows on a linux based OS. But by making your daily driver a linux based machine you’ll be kind of forced to figure it out. Took me maybe a month to fully get each little thing setup but now I have more versatile resources to handle the same tasks. Worth it alone to stop the invasive tracking by Microsoft to me. Plus with all the easily accessible open sourced software available in linux, I now often wonder what took me soo long to drive in
