Why Convert DEB to TGZ file?

DEB is the package format used to install software on Debian and Ubuntu Linux systems, while TGZ is a gzip-compressed tar archive. Converting DEB to TGZ repackages the contents of the package into a compressed tarball, useful when you want to store, transfer, or inspect the files in a standard Linux archive format.

This is aimed at Linux and technical workflows rather than everyday use. Extracting the TGZ gives you the files that were inside the package. Keep in mind that to actually install the software, the DEB is the right form for your package manager, so keep it for installation. But for bundling or transferring the contents, a TGZ is a familiar, compressed archive.
