I may be weird but I use both Ark (default archiver in KDE) and 7-zip in wine. The reason is that 7-zip has better compatibility with some file formats but most importantly, Ark can’t extract files with unicode file names from some archive formats (including tar!). This problem has been known for years and affect many other linux archivers, it’s a pain in the ass.
Isn’t there a command line 7zip for Linux + custom gui for it, or from another compression manager software?
7zip is the way.
Unless, I am working in linux. Then tar+gzip.
Unless, I am doing backups or ZFS. Then, LZO typically, due to speed and minimal overhead.
7Zip does everything I need & it’s open source.
All my real daily-use archivers were not listed in the poll, except
7zip.
Had to select “Other”, but meant:gzip,xz,bzip2,unrar,rarandzip.Apparently it’s something called file roller, which shows up in Mint as Archive Manager. And yes, I had to look that up right now. Never thought about it before.
