minus-square@kuneho@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish22•11 months ago9 out of 10 people I know use WinRAR. It’s amongst the very firsr software they install at fresh start. I myself also just changed to 7-Zip around… I don’t know, a year ago?
minus-square@d3Xt3r@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkEnglish13•11 months agoWhich part of the world is this, if you don’t mind me asking? (just genuinely curious, cause I haven’t come across any WinRARs in the wild here in NZ, most folks I know use either 7-Zip or PeaZip).
minus-square@KnightontheSun@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish5•11 months agoAm in the US and used winrar for a long time as it was integrated into Usenet binaries as rar files. It was embedded with some other software.
minus-square@graphite@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish9•11 months agoWinRAR was what I used in the 2000s. Around 2011, 7-zip was my goto. I haven’t looked back since. I wasn’t aware of pea-zip until this thread
