    I haven’t had an issue with webp support myself, kinda surprised to see people stating it like it happens all the time

    The only tool I’ve used that didn’t support it was the FOMOD creation tool when making some small Starfield foods, and that actually DID support webp, it just threw an error but would show the image and mod managers would load it no problem

    Or is this an example of the difference between people who use Linux and Windows regularly?

      Want that cool image as a background? Whoops.

      Want to use that image with that nifty ML tool you downloaded? Uh oh.

      That random web service at least five years old with an upload field for an image? Roll the dice; win on snake eyes.

      Want to use that picture as an avatar in a forum that isn’t that popular? Hmmm.

      How about that WordPress blog of yours? Hopefully on 5.8 or better; otherwise unsupported natively.

      Would you like thumbnails on these downloads in your favorite Linix distro? Uh, maybe; Ubuntu didn’t get it until 22.10.

      How about Windows? Well, 11 is fine, but 10 needs an extension.

      None of this can’t be overcome with some effort, but it’s kind of painful right now.
