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!

For home have a crack at KVM with front ends like proxmox or canonical lxd manager.

In an enterprise environment take a look at Hyper-V or if you think you need hyper converged look at Nutanix.

If you're running mostly Linux vms proxmix us really good. It's based on kvm and has a really nice feature set.

Windows guests also run fine on KVM, use the Virtio drivers from Fedora project.
