VMware – 17.5.0 – OK with Kernels 6.5 and 6.6rc
VMware have just released Workstation 17.5.0, and release notes are here:
https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Workstation-Pro/17.5/rn/vmware-workstation-175-pro-release-notes/index.html
No mention is made of newer host kernel compatibility, but this version does address some linux-related issues..
Compiles with Kernels 6.5.8 and 6.6-rc6 – with some warnings.. These can be removed by the latest patchset, at:
