Fuck WinRAR. It's for normie NPCs. 7Zip is FOSS, and everybody should be using it instead.
7zip's Linux port (p7zip) was lagging back in functionality last I heard, and also was abandoned then, don't know how it is now.
It has an official Linux port now, goes by

https://7-zip.org/download.html contains Linux downloads and in them
7zzbinaries.The front page with the p7zip link looks out of date.
