I do NOT understand how zip is still the default. I use .tgz wherever I can.

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 iirc

Windows, Android, iOS do not open them by default.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

You can do it on iOS using Siri Shortcuts.
I don't get how they add all these formats to Shortcuts but only Zip into the file app...

Yep, 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
