Comment on Windows 11 adds native support for RAR, 7-Zip, Tar and other archive formats thanks to open-source library

  It’s aimed at people who have trouble checking their email.

  Opening ZIP natively in folder app really is just user friendly practices. Ofc it’s easier to able to browse its content that way.

  You shouldn’t need 3rd party software for things that simple.

    The problem being average people don’t tend to understand what a zip file is, I regularly have to explain that you can’t run an executable from a zip

    Pay Microsoft to the point where they make more money from you than their current target audience.

    Get the majority of computer users trained to the point of understanding how computers work.

    Microsoft is just catering to their biggest market.

      So does KDE, XFCE, Cinnamon, Mate, Pantheon. But i can fit them infinitely more tomy taste than Windows Explorer-extension (aka Windows Desktop). Well, ok, not Gnome. Not without unsupported extensions. Gnome Foundation is almost as bad in their ignorance of userbase.

      What are you even talking about? Archives have been so much easier to use on Linux for many years, because that headline was built-in.

      What distro do you use which thinks an archive file needs executable permissions?
