VMware perpetual license holders receive cease-and-desist letters from Broadcom

Man could you imagine what proxmox would be if that project got just a tenth of the money VMware got?
Classic prisoners dilemma. Nobody wants to invest in proxmox because not enough people invest in proxmox.

PD is essentially deciding to hedge your bets at the cost of the other party or risk worse circumstances through mutual cooperation that could bring about the best result, so long as the other party chooses to cooperate as well.

The web based UI is superb and I've never had issues with the CLI which is quite a contrast to my experience with proxmox

Proxmox, Nutanix, Canonical and Incus must be quite happy with the new customers.

Larry has that demonic appearance, but he's less of a threat than literally anybody else of them. Especially since Larry already has enormous power which he abuses less than expected.

There's several other clients for libvirt, including GNOME Boxes, Cockpit (web based), and virsh (CLI).

This is why KVM is a good option, or even Hyper-V for Windows hosts. The only problem with KVM Is graphical support for paravirtualized drivers is basic at best with no full 3D acceleration that I know of for Windows guests; virtio-win isn't exactly the best option graphically and QXL to my knowledge is even more lacking, but one can just pass a hardware GPU through over vfio-pci for that.
Unfortunately for Mac hosts, Apple has no KVM/Hyper-V equivalent so your best option for virtualization there is Parallels.
(and it's honestly kinda stupid that Apple can't build their own KVM equivalent into the Darwin kernel which macOS is based on)
