Can you provide any good entry points to the BSD world?

There are several, depending from what one wants. TrueOS, formerly known as PC-BSD, is a good entry point if one wants a desktop-style system. Or one can try vanilla FreeBSD. Or OpenBSD. Have some user guides and Handbooks to read:
* NetBSD Guide: https://netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/
* FreeBSD Handbook: https://freebsd.org/doc/handbook/book.html
* DragonFlyBSD Handbook: https://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/handbook/
* TrueOS User Guide: https://www.trueos.org/handbook/trueos.html
* PC-BSD User Guide: http://web.pcbsd.org/doc-archive/10.1.2/html/pcbsd.html (viewable off-line directly in both PDF and HTML forms in /usr/local/share/pcbsd/doc/)

Are you coming from Linux, Windows or OSX?

I am very good with Linux and Windows. So either of the two are fine.

I would perhaps spend some time running it in a VM, and then if you decide you like it and think it's worth the time investment, maybe try installing it on your laptop. I run it on a Thinkpad X1. The handbook is a great resource:

The book, Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System is quite good if you like technical reading.
