Say truthfully, when you was 7 y.o kid, did you used fully open sourced OS then? I think everyone used winrar when they were kids/teenagers (before learning about foss)
I used winrar until I found out about 7 zip around 2003-4ish, but I still used 7z on windows back then tbf. Just using 7z and VLC on windows simply because they’re better doesn’t mean you have to be Stallman.
Hol’ up is that a music player? Definitely no. For video it was VLC pretty early, WMP before that because it was preinstalled but the second it didn’t play something and the advice searching gave was “vlc will play the file” I never went back. I don’t remember what I used as a media player tbh, foobar for a while for sure but it was definitely something before that. Hmm, what the hell did I use?
…i think I may have just used the preinstalled WMP until VLC/foobar, huh. I did have a zune when those came around too and used that software, but mostly to interface with the device not play my library, then I did the registry edit so you didn’t need that anymore, and I think I used foobar before that, definitely used vlc before.
WinRAR got me through some hard times. She might be filthy, but she did the job
She’s proprietary nagware, and 7-Zip is better in every way.

You didn’t used winamp?
…shit honestly I used winsomething until 7z, but you got me I can’t remember if it was -zip or -rar, damn similar names +20yr!
But in either case, “the rest.”
You don’t remember this brotha?
Guess I used winrar back then, 'cause no.

I didn’t discover 7-zip until 5th grade, so WinRAR always takes a spot in my heart <3.
