Yup, but I prefer to remember and type them in case I need to work with unnamed (streams)/custom named files or want to mess with people that only go by filename instead of file
I have no clue why my computer is inefficient with 7z, but I did my own benchmarking and realized the compressing and uncompressing speeds between 7z and rar were night and day. Ie. To extract 4gb, for winrar it took around 6 seconds. For 7z, it was around 30.
.7z enters the room
tar cJf
tar xJf
oh yeah? do a
.7znow 😏e: ah, you created the tar first i see now. i bet you know how to decompress a .tar.gz by memory every time
Well … iirc passing through gzip is z. So it would be
tar xzf
extract, gzip, file
But I am le tired…
Ok, well, then have a
sleep 10first. But then extract ze files!i believe it can even figure out the compression on its own (via filename?) so all you need is “tar xf”

filebsdtar xf(from nixpkgs#libarchive) and it’ll figure it out.I get the best results with .tar.zst (zstd)
