Sorry I wasn't very clear, it's totally on me. On average, the experience of upgrading/managing packages is obviously much better than Windows. I meant to say in certain cases (like the `unzip` example I mentioned above), when the system's build-in package manager fails, I seem to not be able to find alternatives like what I did on Windows (just find the piece of binary I want and manually install it). I to this day still can't find a way to update `unzip` to a version that supports AES on my Debian VPS.

I quickly googled and found this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unzip/+bug/220654 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unzip/+bug/220654 For archives encrypted with aes-256 p7unzip-full can be used. This is not a Linux only issue though, the native Windows unzip tool also doesn't seem to support aes-256 (yet): https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-do-i-add-aes-256-decryption-support-for-zip/3539e845-0e94-4693-aae3-c17099f885aa https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-do...

The author in this answer clearly has a version of unzip that can detect "AES_WG". Unfortunately they only vaguely said (in one of the comment) "Since then the main Linux distros have added patches to fix various issues" and didn't specify which distro.

      Because this does not only happen to unzip and I want to find a solution in general.

        What do you mean exactly with "this"? The upstream unzip doesn't support AES_WG. How should a general solution look like?

        Find a working binary (or source code, then compile one) and replace it manually. Is it not possible?
