In AMP 3.0, would it be possible to use other compression formats like .tar .bz .7z? this used for things like backups and also decompression in file manager

This is unlikely to happen in the near future. When handling archives, AMP doesn't generally use the system tools - it does it itself. The reason for this is to make sure that the extracted files fall within AMPs permission model. If a user doesn't have permission to upload executables for example - they can't get around that by making an archive of it and extracting that.

would it be possible for amp linux to use system compression tools to allow more functionality for compression?

Mike answered that above. Read it again.

Closing as impractical
