   It looks like #GNOME is ready to embrace #jpegxl into its ecosystem! Wallpapers are being switched to JXL from WebP, & GNOME Web will adopt JXL support through WebKitGTK. The GNOME SDK is also going to be built with libjxl from now on!

     @gianni what's the benefits of jpegxl over webp? I saw jpegxl being talked a lot recently but I didn't find any straight answer apart from maybe better compression?

     @Loeil_du_tigre For lossless images like I'm assuming the GNOME wallpapers are by the size, better compression ratio for lossless compression is most likely the big deal here. Potentially >8 BPC color precision for better gradients, which lossless WebP doesn't support.

     @Loeil_du_tigre @gianni I think its main benefits are better compression at higher quality, progressive decoding and *lossless* re-encoding of JPEG images.
