      … Do you think archives are just when you store old files on magnetic tape?

        For fucks sake… That’s what YOU think! And that’s the problem! TAR is a shit archive format. Deal with it.

          LMAO that makes so much sense. No wonder you got all weird when I brought up installers. You’re picturing a file in a folder that contains something you want

          There’s a lot of kinds of archives.

          Tarballs don’t suck, they’re just not for you. You can go back to your blissful ignorance of how often you’ve used a tarball seamlessly without realizing it happened, because someone else understood the upside of the tech
