  from the name I guess v4l2 is the second version of something? So third time's the charm?

    Video 4 Linux, and yes it's the second version. v4l was added to the kernel in the late 90s, and v4l2 replaced it in the early 2000s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video4Linux https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video4Linux

  Interesting statement from the author of megapixels https://git.sr.ht/~martijnbraam/megapixels https://git.sr.ht/~martijnbraam/megapixels

  The people who downvote this comment probably have not used libcamera. All the smart pointer stuff makes it needlessly difficult. Ironically, the first example on how to use libcamera that I could find leaks memory.
