--- Comment #42 from Sean McBride <[email protected]> --- >Being able to use an operating system for day to day desktop tasks is an >important use case for younger talent deciding if they want to learn freebsd, >which is required for maintaining a healthy freebsd software ecosystem on >server. I agree completely. >... this is *the currently working method* of running *current* 32-bit linux >applications on current hardware, on current freebsd. I see. Indeed I had misunderstood it being about 32 bit hardware, sorry about that. >These warnings make users yell inappropriately... Not sure it's so inappropriate honestly, after all, what you're saying is that the current best method is based on a dead upstream (CentOS 7). That's far from ideal. But understandably not easy to fix. But this ticket is about the docs, and I for one have no objection to them being clarified further to point out those deprecated packages are the only way for this use case. Fernando Apesteguía your new text lgtm. >Some people install linux emulation to run things that can be run in 64 bits >mode That was the case for me. I used linux_base-c7 because it was the first thing listed in the handbook. It was only thanks to pkg giving the deprecation warning that I knew to look for something newer. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
