Guys I want to try BSD but I have a wifi card that works using the
ATH10k drivers on linux, do we have those drivers in any BSD
distribution. I does not matter which one I just want to use BSD
because I am really interested in the simplicity of BSD

Boot up FreeBSD and give it a try.
Out of all the BSDs, FreeBSD is the most likely to support it

I did try it out but it did not work for me, installed just fine but
no wifi

I think you might have to grab a Wifi dongle then. You should be able
to get one for a few dollars off of eBay.

iirc, all Atheros wifi works on FreeBSD.

It’s not supported natively last I saw. See
https://github.com/erikarn/athp for code, and I think there’s a how to
guide in issues somewhere.

I had success with ndiswrapper a long time ago for a wifi device in
FreeBSD.
