Why use this over .7z? I’m legit curious.
Also, 7z does not store file permissions. Doesn’t matter for a bunch of text/media files, but needed for distributing software.
Why use this over .xz? I’m legit curious.
XZ is a single file container, whereas 7Z is a full fledged complete compressor which can handle multiple files. I see no reason to prefer TAR+XZ.
