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.
Of course! 7-zip is absolutely a software cornerstone, but as in all things open source it’s now better as it’s forked version with more active community efforts taking place
Such is the power of open source.
So say we all
Latest release is a touch old (2022) and it's not the most active repo ever. Hopefully its not dying.
Just use 7-Zip

Windows?! What?!
7-zip doesn’t exist on Linux. p7zip does, which hasn’t been updated since 2016
EDIT: It does, I stand corrected
7zip does exist on Linux:
https://www.7-zip.org/download.html
p7zip itself is out of date but updated forks exist. With 7zip having an up to date official version though there's no point to it.
Lol, just noticed that not only it is already installed on my system (never used it), but it also comes with a benchmark built in.
Ah, my mistake
Not only it does exist, but it's also in official repos.
Thanks, will check this out!
