  • engrampa

    A file archiver for MATE

  • 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.

  • pbzip2

  • pbzip2 is great. It doesn’t look like it has had an update in a while, however it gives bzip2 compression with parallel functionality you can always use tar before compression too.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
