How could I get started with BSD? (lemmy.ca)

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?

Months late reply since I wasn't on Lemmy before, but if anyone reading this in the future, the FreeBSD Handbook is a great place to start for anyone wishing to familiarize with *BSD OSes.

I have never had to to do this, but I think the way you would go about this is to pass the card to a linux vm. https://xyinn.org/md/freebsd/wifibox
