Why does Linux make unpacking compressed files so hard?
Hard? What is hard about double clicking, or simply typing unrar, unzip, tar or whatever in a terminal? I am stupefied at the things people find difficult. Don't buy a new phone, or DVD player or such, because they will be "hard" too. Perhaps impossibly so.
I must be weird. When I need to do something I have never done before I simply read some instructions and then do it. It is only hard if no instructions are available, and that is hardly true for such basic tools as tar, unzip, unrar, etc.
It basically crashed my computer. That is “hard”. Somehow my computer picked up something called “Stuffit” and it was super annoying.
