When we start using the Linux operating system, the first big question arises, which distribution to choose? Which of them best suits my needs? We choose the one we choose, they currently have a large amount of software and drivers available in their repositories. However, it may happen that when looking for a certain program, we cannot find it for our Linux distribution but we can find it for another distribution.
In that case there are different alternatives, such as converting the package using the command alien, or use the application Package Converter. |
Package Converter is basically a graphical interface for alien, that is, it does the same job for us but graphically.
Using alien may be the best option in many cases, but for newcomers or lazy people by profession it is sometimes easier to convert packages through a graphical interface.
Installation
DEB and RPM packages are available for installation on the official project page.
This very cool entry is the type of utilities I was looking for
Very good, it works very well. I'll take it as a backup ajja, because there are times when there is no way or equation for a command to work for me (silly errors of mine ajaj) and it helps me to resort to graphical interfaces.
Health!
It seemed like an interesting tool, right? Surely many will continue to prefer the terminal, but it is a good option ...
