PeaZip is GOAT software. Truly amazing.
How does it compare to 7-Zip?
They are basically a vitamined frontend + custom backend for 7zip-zstd supporting several other formats such as lzip.
Thanks! I've been happy with 7-Zip for Windows, but what you're describing sound like an upgrade with few downsides, if any. I'll try it next time I get the chance!
Another pro is that PeaZip is multi platform and could be used in MacOS and GNU/Linux.
7-Zip is multi platform too
That version is not official. Was a rework made by an external user.
I remember the main author was trying to rework their custom version but yes, no GUI.
