Hell yeah! I can't wait for JpegXL to become ubiquitous

    I used one just yesterday when my skybox file was too large and was taking a couple moments to load, and I compressed it a bit with JXL and presto chango goes more quickly now. Although still imperfect because a slightly larger size PNG loads faster. (Kubuntu in respect to the virtual desktop "cube" interface, 32gb of RAM, 8gb video RAM, neither even halfway filled, source files on NVMes)

    Nvidia and AMD both have differing APIs for video decoding. The idea in using Vulkan is that not every GPU supports the vendor specific decoding method, but they do all support Vulkan (modern GPUs, anyways). So this way you still get hardware accelerated decoding through a more widely supported means.

    As an AMD user, is it expected to work and behave exactly as it did before or are any differences expected to be noticeable in the end user front?

    Nice, useful features! I'm happy about anything that helps to establish jxl
