What's that

>>52532068
ESXi, period.

I moved from Proxmox to Xen, just seems like a better made product.

I'm tempted to move to something Docker based for performance reasons, but a lot of things piss me off about it.

What benefits does KVM have over Xen, and vice-versa?

/thread

>>52533305
so you switched from prox to a different linux distro and used xen on it?

>>52532068
Xen IMO desu c.uckpai

>>52535776
Depends on the use case i guess, for me and my uses, KVM has better hardware support (potentially due to being kernel space but im sure its more complicated than that )

>>52532887
Does ESXi also run on top of Linux? I really like that Proxmox is Debian underneath.

I've run proxmox for nearly two years now. Someone gib good reason to transition?
