Sends tar.gz in return
Oddly, Windows can natively handle .tar.gz now. Found that out the other day.
Probably part of that Windows Subsystem for Linux
At what point is windows just gonna become Linux with a proprietary frontend.
That idea has been thrown around A LOT.
I don’t think it’ll ever happen tbh
MS: you mean we can fire 95% of the windows devs, and nerds on the internet will just do the work for us?
MS: we love Linux now!
E: stonks 📈
They’d lose their moat overnight, not gonna happen
No, they just include libarchive in Windows
It also came with tar preinstalled in cmd for a while before supporting it in their GUI.
Yeah, but it’s a two step process. You first unpack the gz, than unpack the tar
It can always be a weird self-extracting shell script.
I never trusted those
Just as long as it isn’t a .rar.
What am I missing? What’s wrong with zip? Should tar.gz be used instead?
Bc Linux is a .tar nation?
Thanks, i didnt see that. Love it
Considering even Windows can open it without any third-party program, I would say it’s quite useful.
