The fastest installing software in the world

[-] lea@feddit.de 32 points 9 months ago

You know they have full trust in their project when their own installer is using 7zip to install 7zip.

[-] AfricanExpansionist@lemmy.ml 5 points 9 months ago

On Windows you should use Nanazip

winget install -e --id M2Team.NanaZip

[-] RenBiv@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 months ago

Two online services with server costs vs offline decompression software

Please stop making me defend the corporations I beg

I paid for WinRAR 15 years ago because I'm not a freeloader.

[-] Mint@lemmy.one 31 points 9 months ago

Whenever I come across a .rar I think, what are the life decisions that led to someone to package this way?

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Would you prefer an *.LZW?

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 4 points 9 months ago

I’d rather a tarball because it’s fun to say

[-] thepaperpilot@beehaw.org 18 points 9 months ago

I wonder how memes about WinRAR still get made. Besides everyone mentioning 7zip is better in every thread, windows explorer has been able to unzip things for ages now. Who is still using WinRAR?

Anyone remembers PeaZip?

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I still rock it

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 8 points 10 months ago

The moment I left Windows I left it behind but it was/is a very nice program.

[-] programmer_belch@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 10 months ago

I've searched for it and it's free and open source, you can always compile from source https://peazip.github.io/

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 10 points 10 months ago

Debian delivers a very good compressed file support as is. I'm good.

But I still recommend it for those friends/acquaintances that still use Windows. It is so user friendly.

Winrar in 2023 is wild

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

What's WinRAR?

[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 25 points 9 months ago

it's what people use who haven't heard of PeaZip or 7Zip.

[-] jackalope@lemmy.ml 10 points 9 months ago

At this point using winrar tells me the person is kinda old and out of touch with tech.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 7 points 9 months ago

[-] yetAnotherUser@lemmy.ca 7 points 9 months ago

It's a compression and decompression program. If you've ever heard of the ZIP file format, then this program basically opens and creates ZIP files (and other files in similar formats, such as RAR).
