I started self hosting with a VM on Hyper-V. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 8 points 3 months ago (2 children) Oh, I'm sorry. Lol. Hyper-V is just so bad. Decided to run it for a while as a test, I couldn't get back to ESXi fast enough, haha. And I come from the Enterprise world where Hyper-V is common. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 child) Honestly I find hyper v to be easier to work with then virtual box for home stuff and with what Broadcom has done to VMware I am staying away from it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 2 points 2 months ago Yea, the Broadcom crap really sucks. I feel bad for businesses being held ransom by them. Hyper-V just isn't an option for small businesses, unfortunately (it's really designed for Enterprise where internal expertise is the norm). I can ignore their nonsense for my home setup., fortunately. Have you tried XCP-NG or Proxmox? permalink fedilink source parent [–] GatesMcBalmer@lemmy.world [S] 4 points 3 months ago Nice to hear it! permalink fedilink source parent
