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.

[–] lloram239@feddit.de 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It has an official Linux port now, goes by 7zz

[–] meekah@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

why do I find nothing about that on the 7zip website, but I do find stuff about p7zip?

[–] lloram239@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

https://7-zip.org/download.html contains Linux downloads and in them 7zz binaries.

The front page with the p7zip link looks out of date.

I see, thanks

[–] vacuumflower@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

Ah. It's not packaged in xbps which is why I didn't know.

Better yet stop using Windows

I'm a .NET dev, I wish lmao

[–] merthyr1831@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] SpookySnek@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] SamboT@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Better yet

[–] lorez@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] SamboT@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

BETTER YET

Broken record

[–] Sandbag@lemmy.world -5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] merthyr1831@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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.
