Everything is going to be core based for licensing, and if you aren't in their top 600 customers you will receive worst support. Both of those things have been publicly stated.
Yup. And I have a couple workstation licenses in need of an upgrade purchase that will probably not happen now. Linux KVM is looking more appealing.
For workstation there hasn't been a need to use VMWare for over a decade now, if you're on Linux. Server side, if you needed live migration you had a reason to stick with VMWare - but that also should've been solved about a decade ago. Pretty much the only two excuses for still using VMWare infrastructure are "it's old infra, and we don't really have the time to migrate away from it" or "our ops team is too incompetent to handle anything else"
For Linux yes I started using KVM and it works just fine for my needs on a workstation.
For Windows hosted VMs I preferred VMWare Workstation. It has a workflow that worked for me and I found it compatible with a wide range of guests. Linux guest support in HyperV is a joke. Virtualbox sucks for professional use because the functionality locked behind the extensions they force you to download is an invitation for Oracle to begin harassing for licensing with the threat of a software audit if you’re big enough a target.
I don’t mean for this to become a Linux vs. Windows thing. I have reasons that I need to use Windows. Though that’s not to say I’m not pushing for more Linux. Windows 11 is a big enough reason to ditch windows.
