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 performing the package conversion using the alien command , or using the Package Converter application. |
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
