However, recently I’ve decided to install it on my girlfriends laptop too, to completely get rid of WIndows in our family.

Nice move

@XerXes

Is there any simple solution to make ARK work faster, or use other GUI software that will work faster with RAR files?

Have you tried peazip?

It’s worth trying imo.
