Since centos 7 is at its EOL, I am trying to migrate to ubuntu. Many of our setups involve alternatives to be configured. In ubuntu, there is no alternatives
command but there is an update-alternatives
.

Are they the same ? Are all the commands interchangeable between these 2 ?
Can I just symlink alternatives
to update-alternatives
in ubuntu ? Is it just the command name that is different ?
