Comment on Broadcom yanks ESXi Free version, effective immediately
fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.world 9 months agowhy are you stuck with their questionable open-source and ass of a kernel
Because you don’t care about it being open source? Just working (and continuing to work) is a pretty big motivating factor to stay with what you have.

If you’re okay with the risk of one day ending up like the people running ESXi now then you should be okay. Let’s say that not “ending up with your d* in your hand” when you least expect it is also a pretty big motivating factor to move away from Proxmox.
Now I don’t see how come in a self-hosting community on Lemmy someone would bluntly state what you’ve.

What makes you think that can’t happen to something just because it’s open source?
It’s “Selfhosted” not “SelfHostedOpenSourceFreeAsInFreedom/GNU”. Not everyone has drank the entire open source punch bowl.

It was from Canonical and I’m was never suggesting you run LXC/LXD from Canonical’s repos. The solution is available on Debian’s repositories and besides LXD was forked into Incus by the people who originally made LXC/LXD while working at Canonical that now work full time on the Incus project / keeping the solution truly open.
Dude, I use Windows and a ton of proprietary software, I’m certainty not Richard Stallman. I simply used Proxmox for a VERY LONG time professionally and at home and migrated everything gradually to LXD/Incus and it performs a LOT better. Being truly open-source and not a potential CentOS/ESXi also helps.
