I jumped onto the FreeBSD train a year ago and needed some virtualization tool for my job. A started using bhyve and must say that I am quite happy with it and don't plan to move to any other tool soon. Not sure how it compares to other tools performance wise but it does the job for me.
I've really wanted to try bhyve but the lack of hardware passthrough support (PCIe GPU passthrough in my case) compared to KVM keeps me from it as of right now. Looks really good though.
Any other BSD-based vm's that do (PCI pass through that is)?
Ive wanted to swap my debian server over for a while, but the occasional windows only software is keeping me in linux (what a time to be alive lol)
This has got to be 1 of the top 10 comments on "why Linux and not BSD?"
"Because I need to use some apps that only run in Windows."
"Why not just use Windows?"
"Because (insert any excuse, valid or not)!"
It is, indeed, a funny time to be alive, haha!
I think Xen does? It's available on a few different operating systems but idk how user friendly it is compared to QEMU/KVM or bhyve.
