XCP-ng or Proxmox
After using ESXi for almost a decade, and around 3 for Snakeoil development, I decided it’s time to move on to other hypervisors with my new Ryzen server.

I want dedicated hypervisors running on bare metal, so the two leading contenders are XCP-ng and Proxmox VE . At the time I tried searching online but just could not find a definitive answer for my use case.
In the end I decided to go with XCP-ng first and see how it goes. After about 5 months of use, I decided to try out Proxmox VE. Here’s my experience so far with XCP-ng and now PVE.
