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?

I mean, shit on windows all you want, but there is a daek theme too

Windows Explorer can now open other types of archive, but it's really slow about extracting at least some of them compared to 7zip.
