Last I used Illumos it had pretty poor hardware support (at least at entry to midlevel hardware which for obvious reasons must be a less important priority).

- mgerdts 9y agoAt Joyent, we are working on bringing bhyve to SmartOS and illumos. Much attention is being paid to performance and stability.

If you are itching for some slides, http://bhyvecon.org/bhyvecon2018-Gwydir.pdf http://bhyvecon.org/bhyvecon2018-Gwydir.pdf We have some work to do before we are ready for widespread use. As those pieces fall in place, we'll announce on smartos-discuss@lists.smartos.org.
