Surely we all know the typical Windows “EXE” or “MSI” files. These are the executables that allow us to install programs on the computer through a simple wizard. However, when we leave the Microsoft ecosystem, things change, and it is that these file formats are no longer used, but we can find other different ones that can lead us to confusion, as is the case of .DEB packages . What are these files, and why are they so important in Linux?
DEB files make installing any application on Linux, as easy as it is to install applications on Windows. They have been around for ages, and iterations like Snaps, AppImages and Flatpaks are more like containerised applications, and are also worth looking into if you're interested in easy application execution without disturbing the underlying OS files.
