The package has now been updated to support Linux 6.16.
I would still advise using an LTS kernel if this package is absolutely mission critical for you, however.

This package is the last version of VMware Workstation that does not require the XSAVE instruction (17.0.2). It currently has support for Linux 6.15 too.
However, if this package is absolutely mission critical for you, please use an LTS kernel, as I can only (barely) assemble patches others have made, as it may take a while for me to update the package to work on regular kernels.
Flag this package as out of date only if it doesn't work on the latest regular kernel AND if vmware-workstation works. If it doesn't, I can't help you.
If this does not satisfy you, get someone more knowledgeable to maintain this package, and I will hand over this package on request.
