I decided to leave Windows and jump in to the Linux, but when I install Ubuntu LTS 20.04 and want to extract RAR, with Archive Manager it stays in (Extracting files from "site.rar [86mg] ") please wait !!! And nothing else. I try it on Fedora too! asus-k55vd intel i5

  • To enable full support for other major archive formats, [you must install a few extra apps](https://linuxhint.com/extract_compressed_archive/): `sudo apt install zip unzip rar unrar p7zip-full` – Pablo Bianchi Mar 09 '21 at 22:07
