Having ran my home (and work) lab environments with many different virtualization systems, in the end, I always keep coming back to VMware. ESXi in particular. These days, with GPU pass-through, you can make it a workstation and a server at the same time. It's free for personal use and it's rock solid.


In the same vein, Proxmox is another choice, it's open source (or you can pay for support), also allows for GPU pass-through.


Proxmox is a management layer over LVM (and LXC), not a different virtualization technology.


I assume you mean KVM. Yes it's based on existing technologies, I wouldn't necessarily call it just a management layer however.


XenServer would be another similar choice that supports GPU passthrough. Depends a lot on what you're used to.


Any idea if one can emulate different versions of OpenGL too? I'm trying to figure out a sustainable way to test across versions without needing a lot of hardware.


KVM and libvirt also support GPU pass through.
