Been using proxmox for years
If you know your way around linux then its def the way to go, less need these days as you can now do virtually everything in the gui
Have to admit though, if i was recommending a direct replacement, xcpng is a more natural fit replacing vmware, especially for larger installs
The lack of 24/7 proxmox support is also a problem that xcpng has
Another biggie is thats its easier to break proxmox as its just running on top of vanilla debian whereas xcpng has a bespoke customised smaller kernel
Either would do, why, they are both open source
i usually walk away from anything closed source, never trust closed source never will
the only people who benefit from closed source, shareholders and executives
trust has to be earned, only open source allows that to happen, with closed source you HAVE to believe whatever comes out of the sales guys mouth, no questions asked
PS NEVER played the stock market, if you have then you cant really attack broadcom, if u do its just hypocritical
