Why the fuck do I need to look at a man page to decompress a

Its just 2 seconds or install any gui archive

function extract {

give this man 4chan gold :D

Just get a gui, sounds better than adding normie things to cli

Or just install atool and you get aunpack and apack and shit like that.

>>57966268
Linux still doesn't support drag and drop to external devices. It uses fucking symlink and you need to eject it manually to start the copying, which have no percentage output by the way. Don't even try to walk away either because the completion pop up disappears within 3 seconds.

>>57966339
>not using atool
one day people will learn

also quote your variables god dammit

>>57966540
Seems more like an issue with your file manager than Linux itself. Drag and drop just werks with my Android phone.

>>57966669
This. Basically just use atool and make and extract alias, easy as that.
That >>57966339 is a really old one and only works with one archive at time.
