    It probably does because Mint uses less CPU than Windows. That’s just speculation on my part though.

      It’s honestly insane. I zipped up a bunch of files (mainly emulation and modding) to total around a terabyte. I moved it to an external hd and then to Linux, and it only took about an hour to unpack it. I’ve never had something unpack so fast

      For a smaller scale example, I had a ~2GB file that unzipped in about 10 seconds as well

      Sure, it took me 15 minutes to scrounge around online trying to figure out why my .rar file wasn’t unzipping properly, but after that I saved all that time and then some
