The bug

JPEG XL seems to be coming more popular, with Apple adding support in the near future. It would be nice if Immich could support this format.

It looks like it should be as simple as installing the vips-jxl package. I'll take a look at doing this as I'm already working on #2156.

There's a lot of controversy around this specific subject. The general consensus seems to be the Chrome team are doing the wrong thing by removing support. Many other vendors other than Apple either already support JPEG XL or intend to support the format. It's a pretty good format and requires minimal effort to add to Immich (at least when #2668 is merged). I don't think it will hurt to add support.
