Like when you send a .7z instead of a .zip or .rar to a friend or a teacher because that’s what your computer has installed and they’re like “Oh No, not one of those, now I have to install 7Zip” even though the same program that opens .rar also opens .7z I feel like people are way more annoyed when they receive a .7z
That’s correct: I use FOSS where possible, and if I must use closed source it must store data in an open standard.
As you insist on evidence: I can create and open 100% of my archives in all systems I use now or in the foreseeable future without installing additional software. RAR fails that test.
The other reason: RAR is a closed format, and like I said there are better alternatives that are not proprietary.
Likewise your philosophy is that RAR is best and you are free to have that opinion also without providing evidence.
