Ubuntu 23.04 (Lunar Lobster)
nearly every main distro I am aware of has both available. The reason you still see p7zip is because the CLI incompatibilities vs the newer 7z/7zip executables and the general licensing issues. Most users of "old p7zip" are actually using the actively maintained https://github.com/p7zip-project/p7zip which is updated, supporting unix permissions and zstd and so on.

7-zip 22.00 – APFS, Posix TAR, high precision timestamps
Thank you for pointing this out! This is the source of much confusion. Although Arch for example uses https://github.com/jinfeihan57/p7zip which seems to be reasonably maintained?
- Ark and 7-zip

Replace p7zip with upstream 7-Zip
Then you can compile p7zip from source: $ mkdir p7zip-git $ cd p7zip-git $ git clone https://github.com/jinfeihan57/p7zip .
- Don't Use RAR
- TIL there's a fork of the unmaintained p7zip port of 7-Zip
- I can't compress in 7zip with Ark and p7zip
-
will arch replace p7zip with normal 7-zip?
April 4th was the latest release. Had some commits in May. I think it is active.

Why is 7z so outdated?
I think the point is, the '7z' at 17.04 available in Arch Linux's repo is actually p7zip, the development of which is independent of 7-zip. So comparison of the version number is meaningless (if I am right). Also, p7zip 17.04 is released in April this year, not 2017, according to its release page

7-Zip 21.0 alpha introduces native Linux support
this comment might clarify that.

Zip: How not to design a file format
Do you consider rar a standard? It's a pretty good format, even though there aren't any good open-source implementations. But if you're willing to pay for your software, WinRAR command line versions are available for most platforms.
7zip is the most obvious free alternative. There is also a 7zip fork that offers zstd [1]. The command line experience for 7zip isn't very good however.

Zip/7Zip-archives instead of Cryptomator and what Apps
There's also this fork which supports additional compressions: https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd

Best way to compress Data
7-zip is actually not a bad option, but I'd strongly advise using the fast-lzma2 codec, because, well, it is waay faster, and might even give you better ratios, depending on how you use it. You can find an implementation here, and it is compatible with traditional 7-zip (you can decompress it on any computer with any newish version of 7z)

Recommendation of Windows software [A long read]
Hi, PeaZip can use McMilk's additional compression codecs for 7z format (Zstandard, Brotli, Lizard, etc), https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd
- Tried using forked 7-zip sfx

Separate dump files for the top 20k subreddits
You can extract the files yourself with 7Zip. You can install 7Zip from here and then install this plugin to extract ZStandard files, or you can directly install the modified 7Zip with the plugin already from that plugin page. Then simply open the zst file you downloaded with 7Zip and extract it.
