Which distro in your opinion is the best for virtualization (Windows 10 on either KVM or VMware), stability, and speed?

Will you use it for other stuff or just virtualization? Proxmox is designed for virtualization. It's based on Debian and has a web GUI.

Virtualization mostly. I need Win 10 and Kali Linux to run at the same time on the host distro.

For just two VM, any Linux distro is enough, virt-manager to easily run those VMs up and done. The default network will allow them to communicate between their NAT. Proxmox sounds too many complications for just some testing or development stuff.

Proxmox is a lot more user friendly than virt-manager (yes I've used both, but I just started using proxmox).

But Proxmox is a big web interface app with many packages, right? virt-manager looks much easier than installing Proxmox.

Other posters are right in that KVM is the same on just about every distro. Proxmox comes with extra tools for management and I think that makes it especially well suited.
