Is there a friendly alternative to VMWare/Virtualbox? I would move back to Virtualbox, but it's now owned by oracle

Feels like we need a sticky for this, as it's an on-going discussion, with a lot of details/quirks.

I'm currently testing TrueNAS Core, as they have a vast commercial side including NAS hardware - I think they'll be around for a while, and they have the resources for continued development.

With friends in the SMB IT space, we're trying to figure out a migration path for their clients.

Some other options (off the top of my head)

KVM which is Linux native

Proxmox
