VMware Workstation Shifting From Proprietary Code To Using Upstream KVM

6 comments

Proxmox is starting to look really promising
- Not sure what proxmox has to do with this? All this is doing is allowing VMware workstation to run without out of tree modules, it means nothing for anyone else
- Its more than just promising
Notably for CPU only. And on other platforms they already did.

Broadcom would like to clarify that while using KVM for the CPU virtualization, they will continue to rely on all of the existing VMware virtual devices for graphics and other functionality. Also on both macOS and Windows they have migrated to the native CPU virtualization frameworks.
Surprised this is still getting developed and not on life support
- Don't hold your breath
