First guess – with the system booted from a USB flash drive:

root@FreeBSD:/usr/home/liveuser # service linux start
mount: /compat: No such file or directory
mount: /compat: No such file or directory
mount: /compat: No such file or directory
mount: /compat: No such file or directory
mount: /compat: No such file or directory
root@FreeBSD:/usr/home/liveuser #

@heirbol did you try to run a Linux version of Sublime Text?
Linux support in helloSytem is not preinstalled (yet).

There is something in the pipeline for Linux support though, and it will be good :)

Oh, if you click Go in the global Filer menu, there's an option to go to a custom folder, go to /usr/local/share/applications.

Filer will show all of the apps with the right name and icon.

Filer will show all of the apps

No, only those that place a desktop file there, something we consider legacy a technology only kept around for backward compatibility.
