Yes what is confusing is it might be simpler than one might think.
To run a Linux distribution in jail you need 2 things:
- Enable "Linux Binary Compatibility"
- copy your Linux distribution base filesystem in the chroot or just pick on that is packaged in FreeBSD and do 'pkg install' (Rocky and Ubuntu if I remember correctly)
But you might not even need to "Run a Linux distribution". Just enabling "Linux Binary Compatibility" and executing the binary often works fine if it doesn't depends on a bunch of libraries.
It is really that simple.
