Opening a zip file with nautilus looks like this btw The window you see behind the zip file one is how nautilus look like for normal folders

    So it handles zip files by itself, but opens them in a separate window with separate look? Why bundle them then?

    So you can send multiple files as a single file I guess.

    I think zip files working like folders is pretty ideal and we aren't going far enough with it yet.

    Pretty sure this is a separate program? Mine just unpacks them.

    Did gnome come pre-installed with the distro? I installed gnome on a fresh VM with debian (without any DE) so maybe the distro mantainer remove FileRoller or smth Or it could be a mandela effect and i installed it when i made the VM 2 months ago

    Pretty sure it didn't ship with my Fedora install. Looked it up and: Nautilus now has built-in archive handling, so you can right-click a folder -> Compress or right-click an archive -> Extract Here without File Roller. You can still install it with and then add Nautilus integration with nautilus-fileroller.
