What makes BSD stand out as its own system? I’ve been thinking about installing it in a new computer mainly for reading but I don’t know much about it.

I do as well but FreeBSD made a lot of self-inflicted wounds. OpenBSD on the other hand runs surprisingly well on a variety of hardware. It won’t run well on the absolute latest but one or two generations behind it works gangbusters.
Do you have recommendations for where to get started with OpenBSD? The only BSD distro(?) I have gotten working with my hardware (Thinkpad X1 gen9, M1 Mac) is Nomad.
Simply get started using the OpenBSD FAQ. I think the Gen9 Thinkpad X1 should work. I just don’t know if it uses NVIDIA crap. If it does, you’re shit outta luck. As for the first generation Apple silicon, I don’t know how feature complete OpenBSD is on that platform.
