@Felthry i've never really been a linux person except for when i did IT stuff so my experience with bz/gz/bz2/tar/whatever is "that thing where i see it in a filename and give up immediately"

@kat bzip, gzip, and bzip2 are compression programs that output .bz, .gz, and .bz2 files respectively

tar is *not* a compression format, it's a program that turns a bunch of files into a single file, the reason you see .tar.gz so often is because a .gz compressed file can only contain a single file

@Felthry yeah all of that just strengthens my understanding of them as "the thing that tells me i clicked the wrong download link"
