Hi All;

I'm running Fedora 25 on a laptop with 16GB of ram. I'm frustrated with the VMware workstation reliably breaking every 2 to 3 kernel updates and sometimes with no reasonable fix in sight for some time. Not the end of the world and I get the reasons behind it, however I wonder if KVM might be a better plan. I used KVM many years ago and it was not quite as reliable & easy to work with as I needed. I assume it's gotten better?

Questions:

- does anyone have experiences good and bad with KVM? Any gotcha's or common issues I should be aware of?

- Anyone have experience with both KVM and VMware? opinions on which is better, more stable, etc?

- Is is easy / possible to convert a VMware workstation VM to a KVM?

- With VMware I get the vmnet network and I don't have to do anything other than select nat, bridged, etc to get networking in place for a VM, even if I want to access te VM directly from another machine (i.e. not the local only network). Is this true with KVM as well?

- If I decide later to remove it does it remove cleanly? I dislike the vmnet & other bits VMware leaves around even after an uninstall


Thanks in advance..
