Cause VMWare Workstation installer/updater breaks on every distro version update and I absolutely need Workstation for my class. I've spent 6+ hours trying to get the installer to work right and it just won't, followed the Arch guide and everything.
I feel for you. I used to work with VMs all the time, and problems like that were a pain. But, I was also a sad case of stupidity, seeing that my favourite Linux distros are all dead/no longer supported
