Does WinRAR run on Linux?
Verdict: Partly
Partly. RARLAB does make RAR for Linux, but it is a command line only tool, so there is no WinRAR window to click. Free Linux archive tools open .rar files perfectly well instead.
RARLAB's download page lists RAR for Linux and marks it plainly as command line only. There is no graphical WinRAR for Linux and never has been. Since this site's whole point is that you should not have to type commands, that product is not the answer.
You almost certainly do not need it. Every mainstream Linux desktop includes an archive manager that opens .zip, .7z, .tar and .gz files by double clicking, and extracts them with a right click. Opening .rar files needs one small extra piece, which your app store offers when you first try, and after that .rar files behave like anything else.
If you want something closer to WinRAR's own window, with a file list, drag and drop, and the ability to create encrypted archives, PeaZip is the closest match. It is free, has a proper Linux version, and reads and writes a long list of formats.
The one thing no free tool does is create new .rar archives, because the format is owned by RARLAB and only its own software may write it. That is rarely a problem, since .zip and .7z are read by everyone including Windows users. Your existing archives all open normally and nothing needs converting.
