It's pointless; you can have both sides download PeaZip (which, FYI, is superior to 7-Zip because it's cross-platform instead of being Windows-only) and run part splicers; easy workaround. This only adds to the problem of yet another non-E2E service in the running.
7-zip is cross platform too
Oh, huh. Then everything saying it's Win-only is outdated. Thanks. Is it back to being king, then?
7-zip only has a gui for windows. That might be what you're thinking about. For MacOS and Linux it is console only
Adding many GUIs are available for 7zip format on Linux, most popular is probably Ark.
Keka is great for macos
p7zip has been around since early 2000’s I think, and the official version from early 2020’s, so I wonder why that kind of info has been floating around…
PeaZip is ridiculously slow on Linux, or it was when I tried it.
Yikes, thanks for sharing this data point. Hopefully it's been fixed...
