Does anyone have VMware Workstation Pro 17.5.0 running with any of the

I'm having a hard time getting it to run with a Fedora 38
installation. I'm fully updated as of 2 days ago, including the 6.6.9
kernel. When I try to start Workstation directly after VMware
installation I get a popup saying that the kernel-headers package for
kernel-6.6.9 is missing and so it can't build some modules. the problem
is that
the kernel-headers package for 6.6.9 is missing from Updates. The latest
package is
for 6.6.3.
That sounds like a broken build system. The kernel-headers package doesn't
get updated for every kernel if they haven't changed.
Have you tried using qemu/kvm instead?
I have had a bad experience with F39 and VMWare Player. I've made it work
initially using above mentioned modules, but it was highly unstable. The
machine would randomly stop crucial services, announce CPU core errors and
eventually the only way out would be a hard reset, just to have to whole
thing repeated in a day or two.
I converted my VMWare disks into QEMU disk and I've been running QEMU every
since. Rock solid, no problems with kernel modules and frequent kernel
updates.
I'd highly recommend to go this way. The choice is yours, of course.
Cheers
