It is not possible to come to a conclusion about everything in the world yourself "from scratch". No one has the time to try out everything themselves. Some filteration process needs to be applied to prevent wasting your finite time.

That is why you ask for recommendations of hotels, restaurants, travel destinations, good computer brands, software and so on from friends, relatives or other trusted parties/groups. This does not mean your don't form your opinions. You use the opinions of others as a sort of bootstrap or prior which you can always refine.

HN is actually the perfect place to ask for opinions. Someone just said bhyve does not support nested virtualization (useful input !). Someone else might chime in and say they have run bhyve for a long time and they trust it (and so on...)

So I can't agree with your viewpoint.

I agree with you and do not understand the “I read every manual” and “I test all software” crowd. I play around with A LOT of software but I cannot test it all.

Speculation is not useless if you are saying “the answer I got makes it 99% likely that this solution will not work for me”. Curation has immense value in the world today. I investigate only the options most likely to be useful. And that still takes all my time.

The phrasing of your questions is the problem. They are uninformed, too general, and assuming. The last sentence reads as if you outright dismiss bhyve because YOU can't imagine it was tested thoroughly.

It's totally possible when you know what your application requires but you didn't state anything.

What nested applications are you planning to run?

Ok you have a problem with the way I framed my questions and my (unintentional) tonality. Fair enough. Let's move from critique of the way I asked my questions to what your experience with bhyve has been, if you're willing to share that.

Have you used bhyve ? What has your experience been with it ? Have you used KVM+QEMU -- can you compare your experience between both of them ?
