Now that vmware is over, what should I move to? - eviltoast

With free esxi over, not shocking bit sad, I am now about to move away from a virtualisation platform i’ve used for a quarter of a century.

Never having really tried the alternatives, is there anything that looks and feels like esxi out there?

I don’t have anything exceptional I host, I don’t need production quality for myself but in all seriousness what we run at home end up at work at some point so there’s that aspect too.

Thanks for your input!

    I use cockpit and my phone to start my virtual fedora, which has pcie passthrough on gpu and a usb controller.

      We use cockpit at work. It’s OK, but it definitely feels limited compared to Proxmox or Xen Orchestra.

      Red Hat’s focus is really on Openstack, but that’s more of a cloud virtualization platform, so not all that well suited for home use. It’s a shame because I really like Cockpit as a platform. It just needs a little love in terms of things like the graphical console and editing virtual machine resources.
