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.

WebReady is a simple tool for converting videos to animated webp images and thus allowing users to use them as animated wallpapers for KDE. The tool is primarily designed for steam deck, but works perfectly on any KDE powered desktop.

Hah nice, I'd never heard of this one but there's been plenty of times I've wanted to make a quick loop and didn't want to fuss with it in ffmpeg directly. Will definitely check it out!
