Still gonna use 7zip, the default Windows packing/unpacking interface is atrocious.

Honestly though if they just added "extract to {archivename}\" as a right click option it would cover more than 90% of my usage.

Literally the reason why 7 zip is the first thing I install on a windows machine.

All the linux file managers I use have that context menu built in, so nothing else to install 😅 except that I also sometimes use 7zip file manager via WINE because I like a GUI
