    Once I found 7zip, WinRAR was obsolete. Lately though I’ve just been using the built in extractor in Linux because it works just fine.

      on windows I use peazip because I can right click context menu > extract to smart new folder - does 7zip do that? if so I’d switch back

          In this context (IIRC) smart means “if this zip contains a single folder with contents, directly extract that folder, but if the zip contains files and/or folders, extract all that to a new folder named the same as the zip file”.

          Some people zip folders while some people zip the files in a folder. Smart extraction just handles both automatically.
