By supporting work on a freelance basis

This sounds like Valve is paying devs to work full time on arch, and thus managing to achive more than volunteers could.

You’re right, my comment was oversimplified.

Because both ways are used. Microsoft relies on file names, linux on the first bytes of the file.

I don’t think “most” applies here. Text-based files, pdf, media files and most executeable files are not .zip.

I think it makes sense from a programming view. When you have a document, you can add all the media files and pack them together as one archive. Then the program sets the filename to .docx so everyone knows that they need an office program to open that file.

For the users, all you need to know is what program can open which files. If every document would be named .zip, you would have no idea if it was a spreadsheet or slides for your presentation.

OP refers to the fact that you can rename some filetypes to .zip and unpack them.

Notable examples microsoft office files (.docx) or android apps (.apk).

Counterexample are media files (mp3, mp4, jpg).

It’s quite obvious from the context

sadly not really

I was a little disappointed how little happens. Anybody still remember the baseball at the speed of light?

Thanks for the hint on nVidia. That might explain my issue
