File Roller, alternative Linux à WinZip
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
File Roller is a solid, native Linux replacement for basic WinZip tasks. It handles creating and extracting ZIP, tar, and compressed archives with password protection, integrating smoothly into the GNOME file manager. However, it lacks native support for RAR and 7z formats, which are common in Windows environments. If your workflow relies heavily on those specific formats or advanced batch processing, you will need to install additional command-line tools like p7zip. For general users who primarily use ZIP files for sharing and backup, File Roller covers the essential needs without the bloat or cost of commercial alternatives.

Ouvrir vos fichiers WinZip
File Roller opens and creates standard ZIP files (.zip) seamlessly, which are the primary format used by WinZip. It also handles tar.gz, tar.bz2, and tar.xz natively. However, it does not natively support RAR or 7z files. If you have archives in these formats, you must install the p7zip package to enable File Roller to read them, though it cannot create RAR files. Standard ZIP files created in WinZip open without issues in File Roller.

- Install p7zip-full to enable 7z and RAR extraction support
