It's for personal use only. Should I be switching to native Linux virtualization with KVM or something?

[–] Jestzer@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I would recommend it. I also started with VirtualBox and made my way over to GNOME Boxes. Anything else will have a learning curve, but in the end, I found the alternatives work better once you wrap your head around them and you don’t ever need to worry about Oracle pulling the rug from under you.

Given how VMWare apparently is pulling this is wouldn't be surprised. I'll give it a shot. Worst case I learn something new!
