      if you’re on Windows use NanaZip. 7Zip refuses to use modern compression and encryption algorithms or integrate with the new Windows APIs. NanaZip is a fork that does just that.

          7-zip doesn’t exist on Linux. p7zip does, which hasn’t been updated since 2016

          EDIT: It does, I stand corrected

            7zip does exist on Linux:

            https://www.7-zip.org/download.html

            p7zip itself is out of date but updated forks exist. With 7zip having an up to date official version though there’s no point to it.

              Lol, just noticed that not only it is already installed on my system (never used it), but it also comes with a benchmark built in.

            Not only it does exist, but it’s also in official repos.

          Of course! 7-zip is absolutely a software cornerstone, but as in all things open source it’s now better as it’s forked version with more active community efforts taking place

            Such is the power of open source.

        Latest release is a touch old (2022) and it’s not the most active repo ever. Hopefully its not dying.
