I recommend making the switch from virtualbox to QEMU/KVM, assuming you use linux. It is a type 1 hypervisor compared to the other two being type 2 hypervisors, so massive cpu performance improvements, and much more possiblities in customization (as an example, I have a windows 11 gaming vm with a gpu passed through for incompatible linux games while getting near bare metal performance). KVM is also in the linux kernel itself.
Dear QEMU and Vbox users. I would rather stick to VMware instead of going to a mental hospital trying to figure out proper simple networking on those.
Thanks
Well, they removed the free version of esxi, and made many smaller esxi installs absurdly expensive, and with that screwed over so many people that they can stick this where the sun doesn't shine. DO NOT TRUST VMWARE, do not in any way rely on them, they'll turn around and stab you in the back.
Good news, except that a few days ago I tried to download it for a specific purpose, but found that the Broadcom website is seriously broken. I never could figure it out, so I gave up.
I must of been under a rock when Broadcom had done this. I had license for Vmware worksation Pro for years and when it came to renew the license last year, I was tired of the cost and jumped to Microsoft's Free Hyper-V and for the most part it has worked well for me … But now Free.. I may visit Vmware Workstation Pro again.
Iβm tryna get up in that Darknet. Degree. How do I sign up? Let me know what I gotta do..
Re your link in the notes – VMware Workstation – Official Site : Page Not Found
If it's free and there is no source code, it's malware. π
This will be nice for my windows machine. Virtualbox is causing instability but VMWare had always been solid when I was in school
I've used vmware workstation for over a decade, but since the broadcom buyout I've been looking for other solutions.
for production use I'm a huge fan of proxmox, but I haven't settled on a solution for desktop use yet.
It's too little too late
I'm confused, I got this for free on my Mac almost 8 months ago, maybe a year.. Was I ahead of the curve??
use QEMU and KVM for best performance
lol Broadcom FAFO.
…doesn't 'free' mean, you are the product? nice video, thanks!
Just setup a new lab and I knew that vmware wasnt always free! Lol.
Im sticking with proxxymoxxy tho
VMware for me is dead. With 10x on the enterprise prices, I just stopped using it in any project, removed thousands of VMs to other Hypervisors and aint looking back.
Proxmox for Lab and home, and Virtualbox for Windows is 10x better, don't want to even listen to Broadcom's attempt to gain back market.
best black friday deal. canβt beat free (or lifetime at a very low cost).
I never paid for them to begin with.
I don't trust VMWare.
Good run down of the issue, though. π
It's a trap! Broadcom is looking to stem the hemorrhage of people from its new acquisitiin and the vmware part of the business is so small⦠but it is so essential to maintaining the "use what you know" market dominance.
Stop using Virtual Box. Use Proxmox.
It's good on windows and Mac, but on Linux you have KVM that is just as good if not better. Free, open, built right into the kernel
