What virtualization system can be installed on FreeBSD?

Hello, I want to use a FreeBSD server as a hypervisor. I don't really like Linux.
I dug into Google really didn’t find anything, either Jail or nothing, about xen somehow everyone bypasses it. It is required that only virtual machines of the nix family ** (Ubuntu, CentOS, etc.) be created under FreeBSD.
Plz tell me is it possible?

I have never understood system administrators whose choice is based on an abstract "I don't like" or "I don't like". What does not suit, for example, free XenServer?

Linuxoids have been arguing for several years that "fry everything", as well as declaring that "vend is a mess", but we know... :-)
Jail is not quite a virtualization system.
bhyve while I would not use it in production. For test purposes - you can try, there is declared support for free and Linux as a guest OS.
I use VirtualBox Fra. Now I'm writing from a virtual Windows, which is spinning inside a virtualbox on a fra 10.2.

fribsd is more dead than alive, so you will have to use Linux unambiguously.
xen also quietly goes into the shadows after it was kicked out of distributions everywhere and vtyukhali kvm virtualization into the core
from full-fledged containers now there is already a dying openvz into which they are trying to inhale by merging with the paid virtuoso of swsoft, but apparently it will still die, since they don’t actively let them into the kernel, which is a pity I loved it very much, well, lxc, which is in the kernel and to which I am now migrating everything from openvz, works slower, unfortunately, something else does not please its disk speed, although it should be almost like in openvz.
well, this is where almost all the good ends
, the docker did not consider it, since it is not about virtual machines, but about containerization of applications.

What's the problem? I recently did something like this on FreeBSD:
Yes, the same frya is in the jails.

I did the same on debian - used LXC, in guest as debian and centos
But both LXC and Jail are not quite a virtualization system.
You can also look in the direction of qemu + kvm (I did it on OpenBSD - without kvm, the clients were Windows 2000 Prof) You can generally
install Xen

what you do - and why.
