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

minus-square@hddsx@lemmy.caOPlinkfedilink1•9 months agoLooks a bit overkill, as I just use workstation pro. Do you have any familiarity with it to see if it’s easy to run a single VM?
minus-squarePenguinCoderlinkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-29 months agoWell it is a hypervisor like ESXI, so same concept. Running one vm would be simple, but yes; overkill. It is not the same level of virtualzation that Virtualbox is. For that, you could look into using Virt-manager if using a Linux based host.
