<\/figure>\nPeaZip<\/a> It stands out for its support for more than 200 archive formats, including ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, and its own PEA (Pack, Encrypt, Authenticate) format. Compatible with Linux, Windows, and macOS, it's perfect for those working on multiple operating systems.<\/p>\nIt offers secure AES-256 encryption, irrecoverable file deletion, and saved password management. It also includes a built-in file manager that allows you to browse the contents of compressed files without having to extract everything.<\/p>\n
To install PeaZip on Linux, you must download the DEB or RPM packages from your official website<\/a>However, the easiest and most cross-platform way is via Flatpak with Flathub:<\/p>\nflatpak install flathub io.github.peazip.PeaZip<\/pre>\nThen, to run it:<\/p>\n
flatpak run io.github.peazip.PeaZip<\/pre>\nIts clean and user-friendly interface, with search and history tools, along with advanced features like flat view mode, email integration, and duplicate file detection, make it an excellent choice for users looking for a comprehensive file manager. \ud83d\ude80<\/p>\n
The only downside is its relatively high resource usage compared to more minimalist applications like Xarchiver.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\nIf you use a GNOME desktop like Ubuntu or Fedora, you probably already know about File Roller<\/a>. It is the default tool for handling compressed files in GNOME environments, allowing you to easily compress or extract files with a right-click from Explorer.<\/p>\nIt supports popular formats such as ZIP, TAR, GZ, and BZ2. For RAR or 7z, you need to install plugins such as unrar or p7zip. File Roller acts as a graphical interface for command-line tools such as tar or gzip, greatly simplifying its use for users who are not familiar with the terminal.<\/p>\n
To install it, on Ubuntu or Debian use:<\/p>\n
sudo apt install file-roller<\/pre>\nOn Arch Linux:<\/p>\n
sudo pacman -S file-roller<\/pre>\nOn Fedora or RHEL:<\/p>\n
sudo dnf install file-roller<\/pre>\nExtracting a RAR file is as simple as opening File Roller, selecting the file, right-clicking, and choosing 'Extract'.<\/p>\n ![\"Extracting](\"https:\/\/mastertrend.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1745708271_783_Olvida-WinRAR-Estos-son-los-mejores-gestores-de-archivos-nativos.png\" "\\"\\"")
<\/figure>\nFile Roller is ideal for GNOME users, although it can work in other desktop environments, although its integration may be less fluid.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\nArk is the native file manager for KDE environments, offering similar functionality to File Roller but with dedicated integration for KDE Plasma. As a frontend, Ark relies on external tools like p7zip and unrar to handle various formats.<\/p>\n
Its modular design allows you to expand its functionality by installing additional packages for additional support. The interface makes it easy to create compressed files, choose the format and compression level, and add password protection.<\/p>\n
To install Ark, use Snap with:<\/p>\n
sudo snap install ark<\/pre>\nOr with Flatpak via Flathub:<\/p>\n
flatpak install flathub org.kde.ark<\/pre>\nTo run it:<\/p>\n
flatpak run org.kde.ark<\/pre>\nIt also works in GNOME, Xfce, and others, although it may require additional KDE libraries and the visual appearance may not integrate optimally with other environments.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n7-Zip is not exclusive to Windows. On Linux, its equivalent is p7zip<\/strong>, which offers powerful compression, although its primary use is through the terminal, which may not be ideal for users who prefer graphical interfaces.<\/p>\nHowever, file managers like PeaZip and File Roller use p7zip in the background to maximize efficiency without requiring command-line interaction. Additionally, p7zip integrates with file explorers like Nautilus, Dolphin, and Thunar via plugins for direct context menu access.<\/p>\n
To install p7zip on Ubuntu and derivatives:<\/p>\n
sudo apt install p7zip-full p7zip-rar<\/pre>\nOn Fedora, CentOS and RHEL:<\/p>\n
sudo dnf install p7zip p7zip-plugins<\/pre>\nOn Arch Linux:<\/p>\n
