Just use 7-Zip
if you’re on Windows use NanaZip. 7Zip refuses to use modern compression and encryption algorithms or integrate with the new Windows APIs. NanaZip is a fork that does just that.
Windows?! What?!
7-zip doesn’t exist on Linux. p7zip does, which hasn’t been updated since 2016
EDIT: It does, I stand corrected
Not only it does exist, but it’s also in official repos.

Latest release is a touch old (2022) and it’s not the most active repo ever. Hopefully its not dying.
“Embrace
tar.gz7zip, son!”Why is there rarely a mention of 7zip?
the only reason anyone still uses this shit is ignorance
I bought a lifetime license literally more than 20 years ago to support the developer. I use 7Zip for most stuff but prefer WinRAR for split rar archive support.
For me it’s laziness.
That’s, quite ironically, a pretty ignorant opinion. There are areas where WinRAR is stronger than 7zip.

It’s been like at least 5 years since I’ve seen a rar file.
Welp. Good thing I never bought it haha.
Well now I’m definitely not buying it.
I never understood the appeal of paid programs. 7-Zip works equally well and is free and open source software. It integrates much nicer into File Explorer as well.
Zstd go brrr
PeaZip is GOAT software. Truly amazing.
How does it compare to 7-Zip?
It support zip, rar, 7z. Basically all archive formats. It has way better UI. It is open source. It is free in beer.
Well at least someone’s gonna make money from WinRAR users
using WinRAR
And that’s how I know that voting should be a privilege, not a right.
You’re so dramatic
Truth is dramatic.
Prolific man, so true
