    For archiving/backupping *NIX files, tar.whatever still wins as it preserves permissions while 7z, zip and rar don’t

    Oh, and while 7z is FOSS and supported out of the box on most Linux desktop OSes and on macOS, Windows users will complain they need to install stuff to open your zip. Somehow, tar.gz is supported out of the box on Linux, macOS, and yes Windows 10 and 11!
