7-Zip for Linux, does such a thing exist?
I mean actually 7-Zip or a port, not another compression tool or command.

If you use Debian or Ubuntu it is in the standard repositories (http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/p7zip), so you can install it with as little as:
aptitude install p7zip
Or for the full version that includes archive creation and other format support (http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/p7zip-full):
aptitude install p7zip-full
There are no doubt packages for it in the official repositories for most other distributions too, probably with the same package names.

@alpha1 You do not have it to run it under Wine if you do as this answers describes. With it you can use both the command line version and through File Roller.– N.N.Apr 16, 2012 at 6:23
PeaZip - a Linux 7-Zip port; supports all file formats that 7-Zip supports. The GUI of PeaZip is also nicer than 7-Zip's.

You can always run 7-Zip in Wine. It runs flawlessly.

You can also run Firefox, but why? The native port is perfect and ties into the file-roller interface. Sep 7, 2009 at 5:34

Hmm. Never heard of PeaZip before. Personally, I just use atool. Sep 7, 2009 at 23:10
Yeah, you can download source code from the download page and then compile it, or there are also some unofficial packages for Linux available on the very same page.
As far as I recall the Gnome Archive Manager has built-in support for 7-Zip.

The default archive manager in GNOME and Xfce supports read/writing 7-Zip files (I'm assuming it's builtin).
