I'm not even talking about proxmox, I'm talking about straight up QEMU with virt-manager on any RHEL like distro. Better yet if you have cockpit installed.
That’s good as well, of course. I use QEMU with virt-manager and cockpit on my office workstation running EndeavourOS and it’s glorious. Keeps Windows from ever being installed on the bare metal.
From a usability perspective, though, I think Proxmox lowers the barrier to entry, as the web UI feels considerably more powerful out of the box than cockpit. An interesting bonus is that you can add it to an existing Debian install, including one with a DE, though it’s not something one would want to do in production.
I don't consider proxmox to be enterprise grade though, so I won't touch it.
Care to elaborate?
Libvirt is great, been using it at home to run VMs for ~10 years now.
