People are trying to switch to proxmox too since VMWare continues to go downhill and smart IT planners know you shouldn't trust them long term.

I use proxmox in my homelab so my impression is biased as a home user, but it's nice if you're already accustomed to being a Linux command line user. They haven't fully made everything configurable through the GUI. 90% of the time you can use the GUI but for certain things it's still command line only.

    I plan to use proxmox at home also “one of these days”. Currently my lab is a handful of raspberry pi’s and it suffices for what I normally do.

    My work experience is mainly medium to large tech companies and none of them have used anything beyond VMware or hyper-v. I sort of assumed Proxmox didn’t really scale up that, based only on where people say they use it

    My current company does cloud services, some on k8s and done on other docker. They’ve only talked about VMs if any kind as a temporary cloud transition

    Proxmox is still niche and has better hardware support though. For small businesses I think it makes sense to save on license costs and you just use good ol' knuckle grease and brain wrinkles to script and automate your own setup.
