Distributions such as Debian Live, Mandriva One, Puppy Linux, Salix Live and Slax use this combination. The AppImage project, which aims to create portable Linux applications, uses Squashfs for creating AppImages. The snap package system also uses Squashfs as its file container format. Squashfs is also used by Linux Terminal Server Project and ...
Nemo version 1.0.0 was released in July 2012 along with version 1.6 of Cinnamon, [3] [better source needed] reaching version 1.1.2 in November 2012. [4] It started as a fork of the GNOME file manager Nautilus v3.4 [5] [6] [7] [better source needed] after the developers of the operating system Linux Mint considered that "Nautilus 3.6 is a catastrophe".
XZ Utils can compress and decompress the xz and lzma file formats. Since the LZMA format has been considered legacy, [2] XZ Utils by default compresses to xz.. In most cases, xz achieves higher compression rates than alternatives like zip, [3] gzip and bzip2.
The .ZIP file format was designed by Phil Katz of PKWARE and Gary Conway of Infinity Design Concepts. The format was created after Systems Enhancement Associates (SEA) filed a lawsuit against PKWARE claiming that the latter's archiving products, named PKARC, were derivatives of SEA's ARC archiving system.

bzip2 is a free and open-source file compression program that uses the Burrows–Wheeler algorithm.It only compresses single files and is not a file archiver.It relies on separate external utilities such as tar for tasks such as handling multiple files, and other tools for encryption, and archive splitting.
Nautilus, the predecessor of the GNOME Files, was originally developed by Eazel and Andy Hertzfeld (founder of Eazel and a former Apple engineer) in 1999. The name "Nautilus" was a play on words, evoking the shell of a nautilus to represent an operating system shell.
All of the Linux filesystem drivers support all three FAT types, namely FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32.Where they differ is in the provision of support for long filenames, beyond the 8.3 filename structure of the original FAT filesystem format, and in the provision of Unix file semantics that do not exist as standard in the FAT filesystem format such as file permissions.

To enable use of the tool, a referenced library must have a corresponding .pc file stored in the file system location designated for that purpose (the location varies by system). This file should be stored as part of the installation process as handled by RPM , deb , or other packaging system or by compiling from source code .
