Fuck WinRAR. It's for normie NPCs. 7Zip is FOSS, and everybody should be using it instead.

7zip's Linux port (p7zip) was lagging back in functionality last I heard, and also was abandoned then, don't know how it is now.

Better yet stop using Windows

Better yet

Not feasible for the vast majority of users. It's still not mature. Dunno when it'll be if ever.

I'm a .NET dev, I wish lmao

I'd say "well .NET is cross platform" but knowing the average company on .NET it's probably version 3.5 and running off a windows 95 server that hisses whenever someone gets too close to it.

Tbh I quite like developing .net on my Mac. I do away with VS and just use vscode and command line. It feels nice

I used to use Mac with rider on my last job, and it worked nicely! Sadly it's not really an option working with legacy stuff

Wow, really shilling for Russian software man, that's low, certainly the Russians have no insights to 7zip.

You can read and build the source code yourself if you're really worried what some Russian FOSS contributors are up to, but I can assure you it's going to be a lot less sus that whatever a proprietary application can do without any ability to audit and check the code.
