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Why is 7z so outdated?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.

When switching to Linux, what were some programs that you had to stop using because they weren't supported on Linux?
You could give notepadqq a try, it is very close in look in feel to notepad++. I don't know if extensions/plugins would be compatible, though.

There is absolutely no going back.
Not cross platform as the program is written for the win32 API, notepadqq is an okay replacement for it on Linux though.
- What are some linux utilities/tools/apps you would want to have, that don't exist and think would be really useful.
