Problems installing GD and GD::Raw on Windows
The errors indicate raku can't find the native gd library. I'm guessing you need to install libgd first. See https://github.com/libgd/libgd.

Any alternatives to Slimraw?
I have not tested it, but it seems like OpenEXR https://www.openexr.com/ is an alternative to Slimraw

HELP! Rendered over 100frames over night and ended up with unmerged AOVs. Is there anyway I can merge all of these manually into a sequence? "Merge AOVs" (and all other settings that normally work were turned on). I've managed to fix settings, my biggest concern is salvaging these frames.
Since its already rendered, you can check the beauty pass to see if it is already in a merged format. Change the extension to .exr and open it with EXR-IO https://www.exr-io.com/ in photoshop to see if your AOVs exist as layered data already. Depends on your settings of course if its in that format. Otherwise you will need to script the merge using some openexr tools available at https://www.openexr.com.

Ask HN: Do you still use TIFF image format?
Visual Effects artist here. Nope. We're all on EXRs mainly (and of course JPGs)

Why is some private company's niche image format being pushed out as a universal Ubuntu update??
Well, OpenEXR is open-source. It's not as though they're trying to turn a profit from it. People don't have to use it if they don't want.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing GD and OpenEXR you can also consider the following projects:
libvips - A fast image processing library with low memory needs.
OpenCV - Open Source Computer Vision Library
OpenImageIO - Reading, writing, and processing images in a wide variety of file formats, using a format-agnostic API, aimed at VFX applications.
FreeImage - A custom distribution of FreeImage, with a CMake-based build system. Used by the Athena Game Framework.
tesseract-ocr - Tesseract Open Source OCR Engine (main repository)
imagick - Go binding to ImageMagick's MagickWand C API
OpenMVG (open Multiple View Geometry) - open Multiple View Geometry library. Basis for 3D computer vision and Structure from Motion.
CImg - The CImg Library is a small and open-source C++ toolkit for image processing
