I don't see how maintaining a 150 lines script is more convenient and less of a hassle to maintain than having a pipeline building a flatpak, an rpm, a deb and a plain tarball with binaries.

In 2024, everyone looking for a code editor knows how to extract a tar.gz right?

I'll raise my hand and say I still get the `tar` terminal command options confused and have to pause and figure out the file format I'm dealing with and the options. So, no, I usually don't know, and have to look it up in the manpage/help. "Was it -xvfz for this one? Shit I just did this recently..."

You don't even need a terminal if you can't remember the options. Extracting an archive is done by any half decent file manager.
