Mar 08, 2026Frustratingly Basic and Unreliable
File Roller constantly fails with common archive formats like RAR and 7z, despite claiming support. The interface is too simplistic, missing basic batch operations I need, and it frequently crashes when handling large archives. For a default GNOME utility, it feels like a neglected afterthought.

Mar 08, 2026Solid and reliable archive manager for GNOME
File Roller is my go-to archive tool on GNOME. It opens archives like ZIP and TAR seamlessly and extracts them with a right-click. The interface is clean and integrates perfectly with the GNOME desktop. While not as feature-packed as some paid tools, it's incredibly reliable for my daily tasks.

File Roller has been my go-to archive tool in GNOME for years. It handles common formats like zip and tar effortlessly, and the integration with the file manager makes extracting files a breeze with just a right-click. While it lacks some advanced features of dedicated tools, its straightforward interface is perfect for my basic compression and extraction needs.

The interface is clean and intuitive, and it’s been rock-solid for years. It may not have advanced features like some standalone tools, but for everyday tasks, it just works.
