      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

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

      Ever since i found out that there is a yearly subscription for winrar on android, ive been paying for it.

      I dont even use winrar anymore but it gives the same satisfaction as donating to wikipedia, and its just a few bucks so why not
