I’m still a bit of a Linux noob but when I updated my kernel to the latest a few months ago it broke VMware and I couldn’t get it to work again . I don’t remember the exact errors at this point but I determined it was definitely a kernel issue . I’m using Ubuntu for now btw .
I stayed up for over 2 nights but I was on some heavy drugs. Near the end I was hearing voices and there was shadow people in my peripheral vision. I also couldn’t put together a sentence , the words would come out in the wrong order .
