Along with the termination of perpetual licensing, Broadcom has also decided to discontinue the Free ESXi Hypervisor, marking it as EOGA (End of General Availability).
Wiktionary:
Adjective
perpetual (not comparable)
Lasting forever, or for an indefinitely long time.
They’re terminating in the sense that they won’t sell it anymore. They’re not breaking the licensing they’ve already sold (mostly, there was some fuckery with activating licensing they sold through third parties)
Proxmox is questionable open-source, performs poorly and will most likely end up burning the free users at some point. Get get yourself into LXC/LXD/Incus that does both containers and VMs, is way more performant and clean and is also available on Debian’s repositories.

You know, you can recommend lxd and whatever without putting out FUD about proxmox and other tech.
While I get your point… I kind of can’t: https://lemmy.world/comment/7476411
