    Linux GOG games on FreeBSD

    I use the Linuxulator for Steam, but I've never tried running a Linux game outside of linux-steam-utils. I'm curious, are GOG Linux games as simple as having the Linuxulator enabled and running whatever binary starts it? The only GOG games I've ran have been through WINE, so this is why I'm...

    Linux binary vs FreeBSD binary

    I'm working on a project about recompiling Linux binaries to FreeBSD. No, I'm not talking about Linux binary compatibility. I want to do something different. I know FreeBSD and Linux are two different OSes, and it's very hard or maybe impossible to do something like that, but all fine... I will...

    jails VNET and a Linux jail

    So I've been poking at Linux jails in 13.0. I've managed to get a Ubuntu and Debian jail running, but now I want to take it a step further. Has anyone ever got VNET working inside of a Linux jail? I can only get so far before I start running into issues. Anyway, here's my jail.conf path =...

    Setting up a Bionic/Linux (Android) chroot environment on FreeBSD.

    Why have you done this? Mainly due curiosity and research purposes. Android makes use of the Linux kernel + Bionic libc (userland), so I thought an Android chroot environment would work, just like any GNU/Linux chroot environment does. It's important to note, however, essential Android apps...

    General question about 13.0 as a working station

    I have been working with both backend development, as well as embedded software development. I am fairly new to FreeBSD (almost a year of "casual" usage for small personal projects in my personal computer, not at work). I would really like to try out FreeBSD(obviously starting from testing) as...

    How to set or make FreeBSD report its OS as "Linux" to fool a (Java) app?

    I'm trying to run a Java app written for Linux on FreeBSD 13. The Java app reports the operating system "FreeBSD" as being not recognized. Is there anyway to set or make FreeBSD output its name as "Linux" to "fool" the Java app?

    Can I compile Linux hardware code with FreeBSD?

    So I have a close-source wi-fi card. It works fine with windows ofc and fine with Linux because Ubuntu's developers develop a hardware support for that driver and its open-source.

    ZFS Dual boot ubuntu with freebsd

    Hi, I recently installed FreeBSD in my computer from the scratch, the whole was formatted from the installer with no stripes and no redundancy. Is there a way to create a partition, lets say 40-50 gigs, and install linux there as well? Thanks in advance!
