 I'd just heard that broadcom is getting rid of the "hobbyist" perpetual
 ESXi license - which is a huge mistake IMO.

 Although having a path for people to learn ESXi at home and to have a
 sandbox to play with doesn't fit into Broadcom's master plan of large
 enterprise customers and enterprise training/certification.

 I use ESXi at work, but wanted something with a more liberal hardware
 compatibility list than what VMWare offered - I had 4 year old servers
 fall off the compatibility list with vSphere!

 Proxmox does run well on Pis, and you can get a couple of small VMs
 running on a Pi 4 with 8 GB nicely.
