I also found out you can do this with GIMP with layers, I think you name them a specific way and export as GIF and it does it. Also for Linux users, you can record your screen with Peek and turn it into a gif. Not sure if OBS does gifs wouldn't surprise me though.

I'd suggest using webp over gif. Maybe avif in the future, and APNG is supported in places.

With that in mind, you can still create gifs easily with:

    convert *.png animation.gif # optionally use -delay between pngs, or -loop to limit the number of animations
    ffmpeg -pattern_type glob -i '*.png' out.gif # optionally with -framerate N

Not sure why anyone would do it in python (again, use something else than GIF if possible), but it's cool there is a library for that anyway :)
