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.

if you could pick a standard format for a purpose what would it be and why?

e.g. flac for lossless audio because...

(yes you can add new categories)

summary:

  1. photos .jxl
  2. open domain image data .exr
  3. videos .av1
  4. lossless audio .flac
  5. lossy audio .opus
  6. subtitles srt/ass
  7. fonts .otf
  8. container mkv (doesnt contain .jxl)
  9. plain text utf-8 (many also say markup but disagree on the implementation)
  10. documents .odt
  11. archive files (this one is causing a bloodbath so i picked randomly) .tar.zst
  12. configuration files toml
  13. typesetting typst
  14. interchange format .ora
  15. models .gltf / .glb
  16. daw session files .dawproject
  17. otdr measurement results .xml

Some new format for DAW session files that is compatible with all DAWs. I believe ardour can import protools files but I bet a lot. Of work went into that.

Nice, hadn't seen this before. From the looks of the Ardour forum there is nobody currently looking at implementing the forum but they seem open to it. I would contribute but I only know python so probably not much use. I could write a ardour-dawproject translator in python but seems a bit pointless if someone goes and creates a proper implementation at some point anyway

Something for I/Q recordings. But I don't know what would do it. Currently the most supported format seems to be s16be WAV, but there's different formats, bit depths and encodings. I've seen .iq, .sdriq, .sdr, .raw, .wav. Then there's different bit depths and encodings: u8, s8, s16be, s16le, f32,... Also there's different ways metadata like center frequency is stored.

OTDR measurement results in like XML or whatever open self documenting format, just not SOR. Or even just in actual standards compliant SOR, if that's all I can get.
