what do you prefer for running virtual machines?

what do you guys prefer virtualbox or vmware?
am using vmware for past 6months because virtualbox giving me so many errors.
I used to run VMware but it's a pain in the ass to make it working on Linux, so I now go with virtualbox

Otherwise I use hypervisors on my lab (VMware ESXi), but I'm thinking of moving to Proxmox

what error does it give you ?
VMWare Workstation Pro
I like to use virtual box. Its very user friendly and a lot of guides and tutorials mention this software. Guess its a good one for new users that want to learn about virtualization and labs
I have always used VirtualBox and have never had any problems. SIM-5584380 what errors are you referring to? I also heard that many users receive various errors when starting some OSs that affect graphics card support etc..
I'm currently running proxmox, which handles all my containers and VMs
