Are you frustrated by the clunky file-sharing experience of a dual boot system? Are you perplexed by how both OSes can share the same RAM, CPU, GPU, but not the storage space? Well, here’s my practical fix for seamlessly sharing files between my Linux-Windows dual boot PC.

Gaining control over the Linux operating system requires mastering the terminal—and one of the foundational skills is learning how to open files from the command line. This not only builds confidence in using the Linux OS, but also opens the door to faster workflows and automation.

On Linux, you can run WinRAR through Wine, but setting it up is challenging—especially for those switching from Windows who aren't used to the command-line interface. The good news? Linux has plenty of native archive managers that are free, reliable, and surprisingly easy to use.

With the right add-ons and extensions, you can turn File Explorer into so much more. From faster file transfers to automated organization and improved search capabilities, these tools will transform how you manage files on your PC.
