Windows 11 adds native support for RAR, 7-Zip, Tar and other archive formats thanks to open-source library::undefined
This is great, but I honestly hate the way that windows treats zips like they are just folders on your computer when they are fundamentally different, and I want to do different things with them. Sure, it’s nice to be able to browse the files inside, but I can do that with 7zip.
What distro do you use which thinks an archive file needs executable permissions?
Alternatively, what distro / file explorer can’t recognize the MIME types for archives (which has nothing to do with permissions but it’s the only relevant error that makes sense)?

The whole point is most people don’t want a third party app.
I also think for most users treating them as a normal folder makes complete sense.
Chances are you aren’t the target audience of the default configuration of windows. It’s aimed at people who have trouble checking their email.
Yes. How to change it?
Pay Microsoft to the point where they make more money from you than their current target audience.
Maybe they’re like that because they’ve been trained that way by shit software

What are you even talking about? Archives have been so much easier to use on Linux for many years, because that headline was built-in.

It’s nice when you can use the file browser of an app and I can open a file from a zip directly but I see your point.
Yeah, it’s probably best for most users, but I just personally prefer to treat them separately so I know what I’m dealing with.
