Eight Best Linux VM Managers Compared – Desktop to Homelab

n 2026, people say VMs are dead—containers won. Wrong. VMs are evolving, not extinct. I compare the practical VM managers for Linux: simple desktop tools to bare-metal homelab beasts and next-gen thin VMs. We cover: Why VMs still matter (isolation, legacy, parallelism fails) What VMs & containers are (plus why we need them) Head-to-head chart Real demos & findings My 2026 ranking Personal XCP-ng upgrade war story NOTE: You my notice the lack of screen shots for VMware Workstation Pro there is a reason and here it is: VMware Workstation Pro is free for personal use now and still one of the most polished options — but Broadcom's download portal is a nightmare. You need a login, then search, then scroll through 2,500 unsorted items with no way to filter or sort. I gave up. Broadcom, Please take a clue from Oracle VirtualBox: searchable page, download link on the front, direct to the product. That's how it's done. Broadcom — fix this. Until then, the open options like Proxmox and virt-manager are way easier.
