Goodbye VMWare…
Goodbye Virtualbox…
Goodbye Proxmox VE… wait, whu?
Take a lighthearted ride into the world of a SysAdmin where Romano Woodfolk shares his journey through the twisted tunnels of virtualization from slick GUIs of VMware, Virtualbox and Proxmox to the raw power of QEMU/KVM and libvirt.
In this installment of "The (Mis)Adventures," you'll hear the tale of how Romano waved goodbye to friendly (but bloated) interfaces like VMware and VirtualBox… then accidentally dismantled his comfy Proxmox VE setup, only to find himself knee-deep in XML configs, bridged networking, and the surprisingly elegant chaos of virt-install and virsh.
- What makes QEMU/KVM a powerhouse for Linux virtualization
- Why he ditched the usual suspects (Virtualbox, VMware, Proxmox)
- How virt-install, virsh, and virt-manager won him over
- What to expect when you go “full KVM”
- Why Proxmox isn’t bad—but raw KVM feels so much better (once it stops breaking)
If you’ve ever thought “there’s gotta be a better way” after clicking through one too many VM wizards, this one’s for you. It’s not always pretty—but it’s fast, flexible, and surprisingly fun (once it works).
