Well, if VMware Workstation is essential for you and since VMware Workstation is a product from a company called VMware I would think you'd check their compatibility charts. Looking at https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&docTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&externalId=2129859 I see only Fedora 22 listed as being supported by them. I'm sure you'll agree that the Fedora community isn't responsible for providing a solution to getting VMware Workstation running on Fedora. But, it would appear that some have tried and have succeeded with information they found on the internet. Unfortunately, that seems not to have worked for you. Certainly you are frustrated since you "give up". But I think you'll agree your frustration should be directed at VMware and not at the Fedora Community. I see they also only support up to Ubuntu 15.04 and not the most recent release Ubuntu 17.04 and they don't even support Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS. Now, things may have changed but I believe VMWare Workstation is a purchased product? At least that is the impression I get when I go to https://www.vmware.com/products/workstation-for-linux.html and see a "Buy Online" button. Also, the last time I did have VMware Workstation (many years ago) you only were given 30 days of support....but could purchase a support package by incident. So, maybe contact them and query them on why that are slow to support new versions of Linux? And, since this is VMware centric maybe their forums would be a good place to get help? You've not mentioned trying that....so maybe you'll get more assistance there? https://communities.vmware.com/welcome -- Fedora Users List - The place to go to speculate endlessly
