Same. I've happily used it for over 2 decades and decided that they actually deserve some money for that. I've since switched to Linux, but don't regret paying for WinRAR at all.

You can still use it. WinRAR works on Linux with WINE

They also have a Linux version. But it might be cli only haven't checked.

Yes I think rar and unrar on Linux are their CLI tools - there is no official GUI Version for Linux

I never knew unrar is also by the same developer. Pretty cool.

Mhm, it also has less features kinda.
