Description
https://github.com/TASEmulators/BizHawk/wiki/Release-checklist
recompress the Linux release as
.tar.gz
This requirement makes no sense because it means someone without a Linux environment can't make a proper release, since linux file perms are not a thing on windows, and maybe other problems. GitHub Actions should be able to do it automatically. (And GitLab CI should be able to give a .tar.gz instead of a .tar.zip.)

Research direction
Start with the linked Release checklist, then locate the GitHub Actions and GitLab CI configuration responsible for Linux release artifacts. Confirm how each currently packages the build and define done as GitHub Actions producing a .tar.gz directly and GitLab CI producing .tar.gz rather than .tar.zip.
