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

[–] Mininux@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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 ?)

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

They do but its useless. Winrar can handle .tar.* too

[–] Semmelstulle@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

And this is the problem imo. If you NEVER change a thing you will never improve

[–] duncesplayed@lemmy.one 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Semmelstulle@kbin.social 2 points 1 year 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...
