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.

Is it anything like multi-threaded xz -- in that you're trading encoding speed for size?

It was already practically instantaneous compared to video encoding, but neat anyway.

Maybe that's cause FLAC encodes audio instead.

Thank you so much! I mean I have a threadripper with 48 threads.

Yeah I’m sure they’ve got a lot of flac over this

Yeah, but it's their lossless.

They didn't have the right frame of reference.
