If the software stack ends up being open source someone could make a name for themself by porting it to run on Linux + random hardware.


If someone manages to port bhyve to Linux, they will definitely make a name for themselves.

But honestly, the equivalent is just libvirt on commodity hardware with openzfs storage; the value here is high end hardware with custom firmware and well-integrated software, not really something you can port usefully.


I'm more interested in the control plane but maybe I'm in the minority.
