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?

    Buy an used Thinkpad for 50-100 bucks and install FreeBSD there. VM works too, but something is always missing.

    Expect to read much more documentation than with Linux and it is a good thing.
