You don't mess with my awkward to use compression format. I'm not learning another one.
Last time I ran into .tar.gz, I was programming in COBOL!
Go to the releases page of any Github repository. Source code is served in a .tar.gz archive.
Look for Linux software, a lot of its sourcecode and packages are compressed into a .tar.gz archive.
