    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

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

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