But FreeBSD is an operating system. The userland and kernel are developed together, in the same source tree AFAIK. With Linux you have to glue a user land on to use the kernel, which is a "distribution" which is actually an operating system.
Agreed? I thought we were talking about Linux

any other distro/composition of software that runs on linux? You see the problem? Linux is a kernel, FreeBSD/Open/Net/Dragonfly are real OS's...with pkg's.

So I pointed out that it is fair to call it glued together, because there's no other way to use Linux except with glue. This is applicable to any of GNU/Linux, Busybox/Linux, etc.

In order for the linux compat to be generally useful, we really need to get electron apps working, which means getting chrome itself working. There are some commercial software packages that run which are useful in more limited scopes. For example, I run a linux PVR server (SageTV), and Intel's Vtune GUI. But getting chrome & electron working would enable tons of commercial linux apps.
Running Linux Chrome in a FreeBSD Linux jail already works [1]. But, Chrome is already ported to FreeBSD [2]. Not sure why you'd need Linux Chrome specifically. In fact, there's already a port of Electron [3]. [1] https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/linuxulator-how-to-run-go...

You CAN use Netflix/Spotify/... on Chrome under Ubuntu Linux Jail on FreeBSD.
