Dread. I run all of my Windows Server / 10 / 11 client VMs on ESXi for testing my Java software product. I'm getting the impression that proxmox is the only real alternative for Windows guests? I do need to get packet captures from the host so maybe Linux is better than something like Hyper-V?

Proxmox is a nice UI and extra utilities on top of KVM for VMs, KVM can be installed on any Linux system. I'd install Proxmox in a VM and give it a try if you want to see how it goes.

  Just for note: Proxmox also can run containers (not Docker) beside VMs.

    I tend to use those VE, virtual environment to make distinguish between containers, VMs and lightweight full OS based containers, since the days of using OpenVZ - may be i'll like that naming too.

Xcp-ng is also an option (it's based on Zen)
