If I used windows, I would totally do this…
Once I found 7zip, WinRAR was obsolete. Lately though I’ve just been using the built in extractor in Linux because it works just fine.
Every linux archive manager is better than windows crap.
- mark multiple zips and extract, they all extract. Windows doesnt do that, it extracts one
- fuck “open in new window” windows that is horrible UI and only works well on tiling window managers lol
- allows to use ANY archive format
- allows to extract and delete in one go, the most commonly used action
It really is amazing that even the worst linux ones are better than like everything on windows. I find fileroller so much more annoying than Ark, but if someone ported fileroller to windows it would probably be the best thing available by a huge margin
Okay I wanted to mention that there was pretty much no explorer alternative. But there is QTTabbar and Clover are a thing, and there are tons of other tools.
I think just nothing “looking like an improvement over explorer” on alternativeto.net
Overall, I dont know, Windows 10 was so ugly?? All those rectangles, the white theme, just ugly?
Windows Explorer can now open other types of archive, but it’s really slow about extracting at least some of them compared to 7zip.

7zip is just so far superior in every way, it’s crazy people use anything else imo.
Better compression, password protected files, better speeds. So many features.
Peazip is also good for the same reasons 7zip is.

I just use gzip because it’s built-in
I didn’t know about 7z, but I had been using WinRAR for years and I was in a position to contribute.
I’d probably try to keep a lottery win quiet. I don’t want relatives I don’t like crawling out of the woodwork clamoring for my money.
I mean, I wouldn’t give them any regardless, but I just don’t want that hassle.
“and you said your name was uncle… Bruce was it? who was your dad again?”
WinRAR. It’s really whips the Lammas ass.
Who is still using WinRAR?
Does WinRAR actually still exist? Is it in active development?
Yes and yes. They just released WinRAR 7.0.
I am in this picture (but I didn’t win the lottery 😢)
For real :? 😦
Yeah. After using it for me than a decade it was about time 😂 I like getting paid for my software too so why not give it back. I had to pay much more money for a lot shittier software in my live. Winrar at least just works.
I heard the original developers still personally call and eagerly thank every individual registrant. It’s not that many calls.
I bought it. They don’t
I hope I didn’t inspire the purchase, because it was just a joke.
Nah this was years ago
