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

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!

Thanks for all your input!
It’s really an embarrasment of riches which will take me some time to navigate. But thats part of the fun, right?
Again, thanks everyone.

Coming from a decade of vmware esxi and then a few years certified Nutanix, I was almost instantly at home clustering proxmox then added ceph across my hosts and went 'wtf did I sell Nutanix for'. I was already running FreeNAS later truenas by then so I was already converted to hosting on Linux but seriously I was impressed.

Business case: With what you save on licensing for Nutanix or vsan, you can place all nvme ssd and run ceph.
