I never saw that coming - VMware workstation and VMware Fusion free for everyone (including commercial)
It is still not opensource - yet - who knows what will come - and officially unsupported on Manjaro.
Broadcom will not be taken support tickets either but refer to existing documentation and community support.
Guess free comes with a price - in this case - figure it out - don’t expect us to do it for you.
Hey can’t legitimately complain with the shear quality of there software over that of others.
This has been free now for a while. I’ve been using vm-ware workstation pro for a long time.
VMware Player - part of the package you build from AUR - has always been free for anyone to use.
Workstation Pro however had a trial period - after which a license key had to be entered.
I have used VMware Wokstation Pro for several years. I even purchased a license at that time. But I have moved away from it and migrated all my VMs to kvm. This was easy and I am happy that even my Windows11 is now running just fine with kvm.
I think @ricklinux might be eluding to the fact that the announcement about VMware Workstation Pro being free was made many months ago. Back in May, in fact.
There were a couple threads about that here in the EOS forums back in May:
Surprise - I didn’t realize that - so when I notised this - it was the also for commercial use announcement?
