You don't need GUI to compress/decompress *.rar file. Just use your terminal. It's quite simple.

Exactly as said above. You can show the progress of unpacking and creation though. Is that what you wanted?

I am more comfortable with GUI (I use mostly windows).

you can install unrar in your software/program manager/centre whatever it's called on Mint, just search for unrar package, install it, and than right click on any .rar file will unpack it

and you won't be able to create any archives this way, cuz this package is only created for unrar

you can try using winrar via wine mate
