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.

matroska for media, we already have MKA for audio and MKV for video. An image container would be good too.
mp4 is more prone to data loss and slower to parse, while also being less flexible, despite this it seems to be a sort of pseudo standard.
(MP4, M4A, HEIF formats like heic, avif)
wait why not av4 or jpegxl
those are media formats, not containers.
A mp4 file contains media in, for example, h264 and AAC codec, which is the combined for playback. It is not a codec itself.
im compiling summarised list in body, what do i put this under and what file extensions
