I'm having trouble extracting larger zip files on Zorin. The built-in extraction tool works fine for smaller files, but when I try to extract something bigger, I get an error saying there's 'not enough free space to extract.' I thought about using 7zip, but I'm not sure if it's available for Linux. What are my options?

There's also PeaZip available on Flathub if you prefer a graphical interface: https://flathub.org/en/apps/io.github.peazip.PeaZip. It works nicely for managing 7zip files too!
Have you checked if you might be running low on storage? You can type `df -h` in the terminal to see how much free space you actually have. If your disk is nearly full, that could explain the extraction error.
Just a heads up, if you're trying to extract files over 4GB on a FAT filesystem, that might be causing issues due to the file size limits. Make sure you're extracting to a file system that can handle large files!
You can definitely use 7zip on Linux! To install it, just run `sudo apt install p7zip-full`. Once it's installed, you can extract a zip file using the command `7z x /path/to/file.zip`. That should do the trick!
