FreeBSD has linuxlator that is able to run Linux binaries. RPM repositories

is one source of easy to install prepackaged Linux software. RPMs can be

installed on FreeBSD using sysutils/dnf as an alternative to */linux-* 
ports.

There are only so many */linux-* ports, and they take time and effort to

create. dnf allows to easily install any of tens of thousands of RPMs. Some

of this software isn't ported to FreeBSD.


Hope this answers your question.
