Considering this because I got a new hardware on which a few things don't

touchpad: I anyway prefer normal mouse and use that also very less, so ok;
3. hdmi: that's a deal breaker as I need laptop to connect to hdmi for my
normal usage).

To solve all these, could I make NetBSD a guest and what are some good
options? Is it Linux+VirtualBox, any specific Linux flavor would be good
to act merely as host by and large retaining NetBSD feel of the system?

If you need to run Linux as the host due to driver issues, I would recommend using a nice minimalist distro such as Void Linux or Alpine Linux and use QEMU/KVM as the hypervisor. You might also have some luck using FreeBSD/bhyve.
