The dash used to be how to could tell how long someone had been using tar. If they started with Linux, they probably use a dash. If they started on a UNIX variant, they probably don’t. Either way, the dash isn’t needed.

Also recently learned that recent versions of tar will autodetect compression. So for extraction, you just need “tar xf “
