I spent many hours trying to use OpenVZ alongside my desktop, even changing OS to Debian or CentOS, and my system kept crashing. I know this is not the intended usage of OpenVZ, but LXD manages just fine.
It's not the intended usage, nor should the experience on one desktop system be considered representative, IMHO. Who knows what made your system crash...
We've been using OpenVZ (up to OpenVZ 7) for roughly a decade on literally dozens of nodes (enterprise grade hardware and using CentOS or Scientific Linux) and thousands of VMs of all kinds and in my experience, it's completely stable and rock solid. Can't vouch for OpenVZ 7 though, as we haven't started using it in production.
The OpenVZ 6 node and CentOS 7 VMs scenario works well for us. Not to mention OpenVZ 6 node and CentOS 6 VMs, that goes without saying.
We've also been successfully using KVM alongside OpenVZ 6. A couple of rough edges here and there, but the combo has been used live for a long time and it's completely doable.
