    I much rather Windows interpreting .zip files as a browsable folder than Linux adding a chain of extensions at the end of the file and getting confused about how to open because I didn’t manually assign the correct permissions.

      What are you even talking about? Archives have been so much easier to use on Linux for many years, because that headline was built-in.

      What distro do you use which thinks an archive file needs executable permissions?

      Alternatively, what distro / file explorer can’t recognize the MIME types for archives (which has nothing to do with permissions but it’s the only relevant error that makes sense)?
