What do you use, prefer?

I have mostly used KVM with qemu, but I want to try out other things. I have heard of proxmox and all kinds of cool management things, what's a solid setup that supports easy backups and such things?

KVM and qemu is solid and pretty easy to understand. Basic control of the VMs can be done with virt-manager, which is a basic but solid tool.

I posted this to https://heapoverflow.ml/post/146 but got no replies.

I have used both Vmware ESXI and Proxmox.

For home labs I would proably go with Proxmox as it is free and has better hardware support.

ESXI is a very solid product as well but the free version has no backup support. But it is one of the leaders in the industry so it is worth learning if you work in sysadmin.
