Which hypervisor to choose for Ubuntu 14.04?

Question

linux

I want to use Ubuntu 14.04 as my main working PC.
Problem with choosing a hypervisor.
Currently using Windows + VMware Workstation
I want to completely abandon Windows and switch to Ubuntu.
Requires a hypervisor to run multiple Windows and Linux virtual machines
Purpose: for labs, etc.
What will be more stable and work better on Desktop Ubuntu 14.04 if you are not familiar with Linux hypervisors.
What to choose ? What is the easiest to set up and most convenient to use?
OpenVZ, KVM, XEN or something else

Answer 1

Yes, you can also choose VirtualBox so as not to bother. I use it at work to work with windows, it has never let me down so far. It was necessary quickly, reliably and yesterday))

Answer 2

can you also use VMware Workstation for virtual machines, or Virtualbox,
or do you basically need a hypervisor under level 0?

Answer 3

Thanks for the answers, I'll start with a friendlier and simpler virtul box hypervisor under linux.

Answer 4

For a kind of "complete" refusal :) from Windows, I would recommend kvm + virt-manager. Unfortunately, Virtualbox has become very behind in development - poor 3D, no passthrough.

Answer 5

Try Xen

Answer 6

KVM virtual machines, if the work of this hypervisor does not suit you, can be adapted to the familiar VirtualBox, so I recommend paying attention to KVM.
