WinRAR or 7-zip?
Which do you prefer?
WinRAR or 7-zip?
winrar, obviously
7zip
Only an idiot would use WinRAR
>Compressing your data.
ISHYGDDT
tar
and bzip2
Uncompressing downloaded data*
i paid for winrar 15 years ago, and have never tried any alternatives. I archive 23 files a week.
WinZip
tar + lbzip2/pzstd/pixz
7zip, except there's an odd problem where I can open an audio file from a rar archive just fine if foobar isn't running yet, but as soon as foobar is already running when I try the same thing it'll say it can't find the file. So if I wanna skip through a downloaded album without unpacking it I have to close foobar between every track. Wasn't an issue with WinRAR.

unrar
Don't you have to pay for Winrar? I downloaded 7zip years ago and it does the job, why bother with anything else?
Whatever the fuck is used when I click "Compress..." in Nautilus.
bandizip on Windows for sure
7zip is b&rp
Literally same thing
>free (as in freedom) libre software or icky proprietary shareware
hmmmm what could the answer be?
Nautilus just links to File Roller, a GTK3 application. For example, Xubuntu, by default, includes File Roller but uses Thunar, as the file manager, and works identically to the typical GNOME DE setups of Nautilus and File Roller . Please excuse the pedantry.

Winrar has more powerful batch processing options. Like "compress each selection as an individual archive."
Winrar, because I would never use a product made by someone with the name of (((Igor Pavlov)))

7zip
Free
Can unzip most of compressed files
>not using PeaZip
and you guys call yourself tech professionals LMFAO
7z format
ark for GUI program
Winrar, for it' s free.
>*crack* *sip*
LHArc. now that was a compression program
wait, people still use winrar?
7zip cli (GNU+Linux)
spbp
Winrar is somewhat faster
7-zip has better compression and is free
So 7-zip
Some people on Jow Forums still use XP lol
both. 7-zip for backup
bros, we really should buy copies of winrar, they so deserve it
so is 7zip
This.
PeaZip >>>>>>> all others.
why are the seventeen gorillion different archival/compression algorithms, systems, methods?
why do ~3-4 dominate on win, and 2-3 on gnu/linux os's?
Winrar (paid version)
>not just renaming file extensions to .zip for the ultimate lossless compression
tar -lzma
pkarc
But you can just write a script to do that with 7zip, wintoddler.
Is the 7-zip encryption still secure?
you don't have to compress. i have bunch of small files in zip archives so they don't fragment my hdd.
both russian/ukrainian
literally no difference
Linux
7-zip
Eventhough i still have working keys for Winrar from some Russian/Chinese banks since 2004
Peazip is the only correct answer.

Peazip
>not xz
lrzip with zpaq
anything else is worthless
I purchased a winRAR key after my first trial ended, so I stick with it. 7-zip is still good though.
obviously winrar just for the convenience of having the "extract all archives to a different folder" context menu item.

>winrar is a dumb shitty program that lets you use it even though it costs money
>zoomer doesn't know what shareware is
>not using ARJ
I bet more people bought winrar or total commander this way than if they just ceased to function after the trial period expired and you had to buy them so they work again.
The best proof is that both software are on the market since fucking forever.
