How could I get started with BSD?

hello,

I want to learn and deep dive into BSD systems. I am a Linux user for more than 3 years and now I am curious to learn and use BSD since BSD is similar to Linux and has binary compatibility.

sadly my laptop wifi card isn't supported by any BSD systems. so I can't use it as my daily driver. so where should I go or do to learn more about BSD?

Yes, download qcow2 image and run it with qemu/virtual machine manager. I run it that way when I want to test something. Feel free to ask for help.

Thanks, but wouldn't that require a host OS?

I thought you are running Linux? If not, I think there is virtualbox image (.vhd), too.
