Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, etc. are all available as web apps, and using those would be much easier and likely much more comfortable than trying to emulate Android apps on a laptop or desktop. Zoom can likewise be used as a web app. You could also attempt using Zoom's CentOS package under FreeBSD's Linux compatability layer, but it would be hit-or-miss. Sticking to the browser is likely your best bet. Are there any other programs you were worried about? Also, if you don't mind my asking, do you have much prior experience with FreeBSD on the desktop? It is a great operating system, but not especially easy to use if you are unfamiliar with Unix. If you are new, you may be better off with a desktop-focused derivative of FreeBSD, such as GhostBSD or FuryBSD, or a beginner-friendly Linux distro like Ubuntu or Pop!_OS. -- Daniel Stevenson
