From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

A script to do that would also be nice for us cli junkies
Actually, someone in that thread pointed me to https://www.nongnu.org/atool this, which does exactly that!
As a fellow cli junkie, I made my own script like this years ago. But I got rid of it as part of debloating my system. Whenever I want to extract something, I create a directory and move the archive there.
