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.

Mkv not so much a video format as it is a container format, so maybe it could be separated like this:
Video format: av1
Audio format: opus/flac
Subtitle format: srt/ass
Thumbnail format: jxl
Container format: mkv
As far as I know mkv supports all the formats outlined in this list and multiple streams of it.
Edit: I was wrong about the thumbnail format, it only supports jpg and png
Did you know that av1 is my favourite video format? Me neither!

I think he's saying that he just learned about av1 and made it his favourite video format. Like this perhaps: "How did I not know about this thing?".
