#7zip is supposedly installed but I can't find it anywhere, or find a way to use it in any context?

There is a "7zip" folder in lib. Currently archive files open in Archive Manager, which is currently good enough for me. Just wanting to learn what's going on here, and because I used to use 7zip on Windows.

I'm new to Linux if that isn't obvious ":D".

try 7z --help.
7zip is probably not the name of command, even if the package is named that.

#

Or try typing 7z or even 7zip then press [Tab], to see all the options starting with that name.

oh yeah the command is just 7z. I always assumed the command was the same as the package name :D turns out 7zip is cli only, officially at least.

Thank you lokait^

They often are same as the package name, but not always, and some packages also come with multiple programs which you have to access with multiple commands, graphical launchers, etc. blanket
