| + | The main difference between XZ compression and Gzip compression is in the compression algorithms they use. XZ compression is based on the LZMA2 algorithm, which is designed to achieve very high compression ratios. Gzip compression, | ||

| + | Another difference is that XZ compression is usually more efficient than Gzip in terms of file size when compressing larger files. This is because the XZ compression algorithm is designed to detect and store repeating patterns more efficiently. Gzip, on the other hand, is better suited for compressing smaller files, as the Deflate algorithm is faster and more efficient in these cases. | ||
