I recently installed VMware Workstation on Fedora 41 KDE. Browsing Broadcom’s website to find the download link was one of the most abysmal life experiences I have ever had. So, at the end, I went to the AUR and got the link from the PKGBUILD there. I installed it by running the executable as root. I didn’t have any issues with the modules since the Workstation automatically offers to install required kernel modules upon launch if they are not present. Only manual intervention I had to do was to disable Secure Boot from BIOS since MSI likes to enable it each time I update it’s firmware.
