Well, I mean, that. It’s very capable but Microsoft gimps it by bundling it with windows server. The fact you have to use RDP to administer it is itself a non-starter.
Aside from the fact that it runs on Windows, what makes HyperV so bad?
I’ve used it a bunch and it seems fine save for some weird quirks with OSs older than 2012 R2

You don’t need to use RDP though. In fact, MS really wants you to use remote powershell or admin center.
Although you could also use whatever 3rd party remote tools you want because you’re just running Windows Server

We have several big clusters built on mixed virtual and bare bone. I would our system engineer to manually build on virtualbox before even touching hyper-v. For some political reasons our IT forced us to test to build a solution on hyper-v, I still have nightmares. I am not even the person who had to do it in practice.
It is long to explain it here, just give it a try. Windows server and all releted solutions are simply bad for real workloads. Who use it on server is just a company who doesn’t need to be productive on the IT side. Their core business is not tech related and they don’t care other than getting cheap sys admins
