Title, sorry if I am asking to many questions rn but I am new to freeBSD. How do I extract a (tar.xz) file? I am trying to follow this guide and add more themes to the desktop.
Thank you In advance
 
To do it by command line.
Code: 
 xz -d <filename.xz>
(The -d is for decompress. You can look at man (1) xz and under the Operation mode sub-heading, it gives a brief explanation of how to use it. ) Getting used to using man pages is good practice, though they can be rather imposing for beginners. Though, at almost the beginning of xz's man page, it does, under COMMAND ALIASES, let you know that that you can use unxz to decompress a file.
 
When you miss something you can take a look at Mate it will bring you down lesser stuff than Gnome.

For instance rather than use file-roller you can install engrampa.
