So much easier to use tar -z

I laugh when I see responses like this. tar is so discoverable and easy, you can install WSLv2 if you want to use it.

I laughed at your response too, because tar is part of Windows 11. See C:\Windows\System32\tar.exe

Wooosh.

We don't usually browse System32 to see what programs Microsoft decided it should be part of the OS. Especially when Microsoft is not sure which Paint is the best.
