idek if 7zip is better than winrar anymore assuming both are being updated constantly, but like... My memory is that pretty much every tech oriented person on windows uses 7zip.

:kitty-cri-screm: UI's should be as functional as they need to be and left alone so long as they work. Reworking UIs always makes them worse and harder to use. Like look at fucking post-7 windows: it's an abject mess of hybrid tablet/desktop designs and the most dogshit menus anyone has ever concocted serving as a pointless wrapper over the ancient and still functioning programs that have been around for decades.

i prefer the 7z workflow of right clicking the archive then choosing one of the relevant 7-zip -> extract to ...
it's unambiguous. i can either extract immediately in the same folder to a sub-directory, or choose another destination. 7-zip's UI is also very simple and straightforward. I would love if I could get 7-zip natively like this on Linux.
Windows can natively do this

You can look at the files and it will decompress them to access them like any other file. You can move one or all files out of the compressed folder to a decompressed state. I hate :windows-cool: and it's bullshit. I just have to use the thing for work and some email boxes aren't made like the others and some clients require compression because their organization cheaps out on file storage.
I also hate the Apple propietary :anarchist-occult: cult. I'm not here to make converts.
I'm using Android which is :penguin-dance:
No it doesn't.
When was the last time you used Windows? Windows 7 is unusable compared to Windows 10. There are so many features we take for granted that Windows 7 didn't have.
Yeah, because Microsoft didn't update the menus. You want them to go back to even older awful and janky UIs? There's a reason why every application these days is just a webpage. It's because there has been zero investment in making it easy to create desktop applications for Windows. Web based applications manage to have a lot of functionality without ending up as unusable giant bags of tiny buttons (terrible UX) or feature-poor applications that never improve because adding a new button is too hard.
When was the last time you opened a menu in windows? Like go and open the settings menu right now. It's an absolute trainwreck of vague bullshit going into feature poor tablet style menus with tabs that are similarly vague and may or may not even have screens of their own, with no consistency to any of it, and in order to actually do anything you need to navigate this labyrinthine mess to find where it's hidden the ancient program that actually does whatever you're trying to do and just use that with it's simple and usable interface.
It's literally better than Control Panel, which uses popup child windows all over the place which are awful.
i don't know, windows 7 is still perfectly usable today if it weren't for everyone abandoning it.
that said i don't mind Windows 10 UI either. Its that the "new" UI has more missing features compared to old UI.

Last year before they ended extended security updates
