What is a tar.xz file?

A TAR.XZ file is an archive format that combines the TAR format with XZ compression. The TAR portion bundles multiple files and directories into a single file, preserving the original file structure, while the XZ compression algorithm significantly reduces the size of the TAR archive. This format is favored in Unix and Linux environments where maximum compression efficiency is desired.

TAR.XZ files offer superior compression ratios compared to other formats like TAR.GZ or TAR.BZ2, making them ideal for distributing large software packages or backups. The XZ compression, powered by the LZMA2 algorithm, provides strong compression performance, especially for larger files.
