While reading Manish's email on mkdesktop, this occurred to me: do I need
any of the linux-compatibility packages/kmods/... ? I declined to install
either Wine or Linuxulator, was that a mistake?
ISTR that I have some linux-related items in the kld_list on a different
laptop running GhostBSD, but since these two machines are roughly 15 years
apart, age-wise, I hesitate to draw conclusions ... :-)
