TIL there's a fork of the unmaintained p7zip port of 7-Zip
The p7zip port of 7-Zip is several releases behind and the project seems to be abandoned. I discovered this when a large archive failed to extract with Engrampa which uses it. It reported a "Headers Error" which is due to a compatibility problem between zip format implementations. 7-Zip has a fix but the port doesn't. But there's a fork on GitHub which is being actively maintained. Check it out.

I made a terminal utility to monitor some system stats. Was wondering if you guys know of anything better or if I should continue dev work on it since we need it?
Linux mint mate has something called "System Monitor" that is a running graphical plot of system activity. http://www.mate-desktop.org It is by the Mate developers. Very nice. It is similar to the windows monitor.

What compression tool you mainly use?
I use Engrampa. Which archive format I use depends on the use case. For example, if Windows users are involved, I usually use Rar archives. Under Linux, I usually use tar.xz.
What are some alternatives?
btop - A monitor of resources
p7zip - A new p7zip fork with additional codecs and improvements (forked from https://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/ AND https://sourceforge.net/projects/p7zip/).
sysstat - Performance monitoring tools for Linux
grafterm - Metrics dashboards on terminal (a grafana inspired terminal version)
prometheus - The Prometheus monitoring system and time series database.
bottom - Yet another cross-platform graphical process/system monitor.
Grafana - The open and composable observability and data visualization platform. Visualize metrics, logs, and traces from multiple sources like Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, Postgres and many more.
