If Patrick is ok to a rolling system Parabola/OpenRC is also recommended to him that’s rolling and nosystemd, otherwise please stick to Devuan and Hyperbola those are LTS and nosystemd. I use both of Parabola/OpenRC, Devuan, Hyperbola which I’m easy going alongside rolling and LTS systems.

I need to here remind Patrick once if you dnt want systemd you need to instead install Parabola, Devuan, Hyperbola, which I need to admit that systemd is quite complicated to config, with Parabola, Devuan, Hyperbola you will have a simple and modern init system named OpenRC under FreeBSD

Where would be that firmware? Would it be part of the UEFI? I thought the firmware was a binary that the kernel sends to the Wifi card for execution.

Firmware is software that is not executed on the CPU but on peripheral processors. That software is not always "burned onto chip on the hardware": the kernel can send it to the peripheral. It is a binary but the corresponding source code may be available under the terms of a free license.
