Actually ESXi can be run in a Pi4 (4 or 8GB) as a fling (https://flings.vmware.com/esxi-arm-edition) and runs quite well and stable multiple simultaneous debian, ubuntu, or even rpiOS (https://williamlam.com/2020/10/how-to-run-raspberry-pi-os-as-a-vm-on-esxi-arm.html) images. But it is only working with 64bit images, so raspbx cannot be run since it is a 32bit image.

Ok, it is not possible. Only 64bit are supported in ESXi for Pi

Can the image be converted so that it can run as a virtual machine in VMWare ESXi for Pi? Or are there any fundamental limitations? Perhaps one should install Ubuntu and then manually install? Thanks
