Spotted the Linux user
I do NOT understand how zip is still the default. I use .tgz wherever I can.
Because of your comment, I did a quick google search and pretty much every source says that .tar.gz is also pretty ancient and not that good (from a compression point of view). For better compression, you can use the xz or 7zip formats. The former is more used on Linux, if that’s what you’re using.
Lzo or lzma is best for compression. Also depends on the compression rate. KDE Ark is awesome
Compatibility with literally anything under the sun that can decompress a compressed file.
But isn’t that’s given with tgz too?
Except of course Windows iircYep, but Windows is still the majority right now… And i’m sure there are a lot of people out there that don’t have 7zip installed (why doesn’t MS include their own implementation already ?)
They do but its useless. Winrar can handle .tar.* too
Why use this over .7z? I’m legit curious.
Why use this over .xz? I’m legit curious.

Reminds me of the “grandma.zip” meme
Yay this is now a URL. If your intention was not to post a URL to some random website not loading anything but javadscript, put a "" before the link I guess
Test “example/.com”
Fuck Google
yourfiles.tar.xz
tar just wraps, doesn’t compress. so more accurate would be the pillows in a looser bag that doesn’t squish them even a little :)
