It’s honestly insane. I zipped up a bunch of files (mainly emulation and modding) to total around a terabyte. I moved it to an external hd and then to Linux, and it only took about an hour to unpack it. I’ve never had something unpack so fast
For a smaller scale example, I had a ~2GB file that unzipped in about 10 seconds as well
Sure, it took me 15 minutes to scrounge around online trying to figure out why my .rar file wasn’t unzipping properly, but after that I saved all that time and then some
I’m glad it’s working out for you. I’ve never realky worked with .zip files larger than 8gb but I have some tar.gz folders that are 80-90gb in size. I haven’t had to unpack one yet tho.
It probably does because Mint uses less CPU than Windows. That’s just speculation on my part though.
