I wouldn’t mind the webp format if programs supported it!

Mint's default wallpaper manager doesn't, and Discord doesn't let me pick a .webp as an avatar. Those seem like 2 pretty big ones that don't work.

I've also run into other less common examples over time, but those are more random spread out things and I don't remember what they are.

No offense but Mint is not a great example. They are behind in general. Still figuring out Wayland, fractional scaling and VRR, things which KDE has supported in stable releases for some time now. KDE even is getting HDR along with Cosmic and SteamOS, something Mint isn't even close to. Mint kernels are older than Ubuntu's, which are hardly new. I used to love Mint, but they are falling further and further behind KDE, Gnome, and System76 (PopOS and Cosmic). To me it seems the new distros for newbies are Fedora, Debian, and a few derivatives like Nobara, UBlue, and PopOS.

Cinnamon hasn't been keeping up for years. When I tried Mint again when I went full-time linux last year, and found the same unfixed bugs from three years prior, I ditched it forever.

The format has been around for 13 years, and is objectively superior to its predecessors. By now it is actually set to be replaced by avif and jpgxl which are even better.

At this point running into cases where it doesn't work makes me question the software, not the format.
