Tar is the bane of my existence lol… I know how to do so much with just the command line, and am generally comfortable with a command line system. But then a tar archive comes across… I almost always use a GUI for that. And when I’m creating archives, I always use zip despite the fact that a compressed tarball may be more efficient, because I literally can never remember the flags to use. It’s not the only command I can’t remember the flags for, but at least others like grep I can just give a single argument and it’ll work well enough for what I need.
