The divergence between the Windows and Linux ecosystems presents a significant challenge for software deployment. While Windows utilizes the proprietary Portable Executable (PE) format ( .exe ), Debian-based Linux distributions rely on the Debian package management system ( .deb ). This paper explores the technical methodologies for "converting" an executable from the Windows format to a Debian package. It argues that true binary conversion is architecturally impossible due to fundamental differences in kernel APIs and system libraries. Instead, the paper details the three industry-standard approaches for achieving deployment: packaging within a compatibility layer (Wine), static binary packaging, and the wrapping of platform-agnostic runtimes (such as Java or Python). A step-by-step technical guide for creating a .deb package that wraps a Windows executable using Wine is provided. A step-by-step technical guide for creating a
