I’ve written a CLI tool in Rust as a front end to tar with gzip called Targez.

It can definitely just be done with an alias instead, but you can give it a try if you prefer something installable.

It does make sense why it works the way it works but I still don’t want it on my system

What I’m actually saying is, that user experience is obviously harder without the algorithms, but algorithms (ML ones) are what brought the internet to this state. So I’d rather live without them wherever that’s viable.

Meh, I’m sick of all the algorithmic crap. The internet used to be better when people needed a couple brain cells to use them.

Just try using any modern framework/language/library/tool/whatever with the packages that exist by default in the Debian repository, it’s impossible and a pain in the ass

Ironically my day to day experience was harder with Debian than Arch, it was a pain trying to find up-to-date packages for pretty much everything I needed
