There is a shell script on a web page that sets up FreeBSD or GhostBSD to run a Linux browser. Let me find it for you. You can also search on the telegram GhostBSD forum https://t.me/ghostbsd

you have to set sysctl compat.linux.emul_path=/compat/ubuntu, and start the linux rc-script (service linux onestart). Depending on which chroot you intend to use by default, set either (not both) linux_enable="YES" or ubuntu_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf.
edit file /etc/rc.conf change NO to YES in this line, or add this line if not existing already.
linux_enable="YES" change to this below:
linux_enable="NO"
ubuntu_enable="YES"
(Mine already said "YES" so I didn't need to change it.) Click Save to save your changes and close the text file, /etc/rc.conf.

use /compat/ubunut directory. Set item to point to this. use Ubuntu instead of Linux, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is prefered.
Once you install a linux browser of your choice, ( I installed Brave Linux Browser and like that fine ). , then you have a Linuxulator platform that you can install other Linux apps, inside the chroot environment and file structure. ( You can NOT see files outside the chroot ). Good luck and report back your success or failure. We can work through problems you encounter.
I am glad you are an Engineering Student interested in something other than Windows. What aritlces, websites, led you to look for a replacement to windows that you arrived here at GhostBSD.org/download. Are there other students interested in using GhostBSD like you are doing? I welcome further posts about the steps you did to make those 3 linux apps work on GhostBSD for you. Please take written paper notes as you go along, and then rewrite when you post here on the forum. YOUR KNOWLEDGE can help others use Linux apps on GhostBSD. I am very happy you asked this question about using Linux apps on GhostBSD. So test and keep notes, report in new post below.
