There is major news coming from VMware by Broadcom today. They have decided to release VMware Workstation Pro and Fusion Pro for free. This is evidently to allow more to use the Workstation hypervisor apps for personal use. We explore this announcement and how you can download and install the new free for personal use VMware Workstation Pro.

Their website sucks. When I go through the procedure it takes me to my downloads which is empty. It is a total crap show. I had a client that had Symantec AV and when trying to log into their cloud portal after broadcom took over I couldn't get in. I called tech support and said I couldn't get it the link I had was a dead end. They ask what link am I using? What link am I supposed to use? No answer. He said it works for me. So I tried again and it worked for me now. What did he do? He claims nothing. I have been doing this for nearly 30 years. Don't try to gaslight me. I know they fixed it and lied.

@gardnerjp1 Месяц назад

I really enjoyed using VMWare solutions in the past. Open Source solutions have caught up and I don't have the nasty moat that is "License fees" that come with close sourced solutions. Apple didn't do VMWare any favors when they moved to their new silicon chips. It forced a lot of people to start using Docker that wouldn't have in the past. It showed a lot of people how easy Docker was to use and that they didn't need the bloat that comes with VMWare. I think it'll just be more of that. Blackberry had the same problem - for a time, they were cutting edge. Then newer technology came out that made it obsolete. VMWare is going in that direction.

It almost does everything I need (except that I can only run GPU support with Zorin, all other Linux Distros fail to start).

They will certainly be updating it because it is the same code that is used for the Commercial-Use "Pro", which is a subscription license.

Also, what is more convenient for daily use? I mean, do they manage resources the same?

this is still the best product to quickly stand up dev/test environments for short term use on a workstation...be pen testing, or just seeing what will happen if you do something.
