I've used 7zip and Nana zip on Windows, but I'm finding the built-in compression options on Linux a bit limited. I'm currently running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Can anyone recommend some good compression software for Linux?

You can definitely use `tar`, which is great for combining files and does a solid job with compression. Also, 7zip is available on Linux, but keep in mind it's only the command-line version without a graphical interface. If you like the terminal, it could be perfect for you!
Yeah, while 7zip's command line version is powerful, I miss having a GUI too. Still, `tar` is a solid option!
You should look into PeaZip or File Roller as alternatives. And if you want familiarity, WinRAR is also available for Linux. There are quite a few packages, just do some searching to find the one that suits you best!
Totally agree! The terminal options with tools like `zip`, `unzip`, and `gzip` are fantastic. It's like having endless choices for file management.
