The speed of the extraction depends on the size of the DMG file and the speed of your PC. When the extraction is finished, you can browse the files in a regular File Explorer window. You can view or edit the files using any of the regular File Explorer features or whatever apps you use.

What is a TGZ file?
A TGZ file is a Unix .TAR archive compressed with Gnu Zip (.GZIP) compression to reduce the file size. It is commonly used on Unix and Linux systems and was originally created as the shorthand version of the compound extension .TAR.GZ.
To decompress a TGZ file and extract the archived files in one step at the Unix command line, type this command:
tar -xzvf filename.tgz
This command decompresses the Gzip file and then extracts the files from the TAR archive.
NOTE: TGZ files are used as install packages for some Linux distributions. Therefore, the '.tar.gz' extension is sometimes used for archives while the '.tgz' extension is used for installers.
