Rar for Linux is something that exists, is free of charge, has no trial pop-up, and is basically the same thing that one runs for you. Also, 7-Zip can run it for you if you want to use a GUI.
7-Zip is a stupid name and I refuse to use it even if it’s better than WinRAR. Not like I ever open the interfaces anymore. I just right click and “extract here” so I don’t even know what to compare.
Really? I thought most people moved to 7-Zip.
I keep it around and run it in Wine under Linux because I’ve encountered RAR files that other archivers can’t open every so often.
I have never had a rar archive that 7zip can’t open
I have, I guess they may have been malformed or corrupted or something, but WinRAR didn’t care.

But you need to install it.

Kind of a weird thing to dislike a piece of software just because of its name and not its functionality.
Probably, yeah.
One is open source and doesn’t steal your data. The other may or may not, who knows?
