    Are there any examples you can point me to for this? I’ve always found esxi the “teeth pulling” one and would like to see some arguments otherwise.

      Sure, they have a nag screen if you don’t do their corporate update subscription, and you need to manually run a Linux command to get rid of it. You have to manually go look for the update URL to do updates in-band and configure it. After updating the upgrade will sometimes not change the UI to show the update.

      By default, an Ubuntu VM will be selected with a GPU or CPU type that prevents it from booting.

      It’s a million little small things but it adds up and you sigh and long for ESX just a bit more every time, because you can unfortunately really tell the design difference between enthusiasts and people who make serious IT products

      All they have to do is little fixes to make things be smooth but they don’t and it’s annoying sometimes

        Thanks for your candor. Not sure I agree with these issues… but I guess that’s why I’ve never really had a problem with Proxmox.
