Given that not EVERYBODY does EVERYTHING on Linux in the CLI, can anyone recommend a GUI archive handler like engrampa, but that is not bound to p7zip and will instead use 7zz?
Humor, also. Amuse others with your wit. Don't be insulting, it's not necessary
Be willing to have your opinion discounted for a while (see, humility). When you turn out to have been right often enough they will come around. If it doesn't work out that way, hmmm, maybe you lacked some necessary knowledge.
Actual knowledge can often trump an ability to figure it out quickly. Pay attention to people with experience in a new situation, even if their CPU clock is running slower than yours. Respect their database.
It's unclear to me why would we expect corporations that are designed to seek only profit to care about issues that are unrelated (at best) to profit. Such as human rights.
If you cringe a little you're really almost-acknowledging that you haven't /really/ done anything for your privacy. Maybe using Apple products is a bit of g33k virtue-signaling?
