Installing VMware Workstation or Player on Fedora 41
I spent a lot of time figuring out how to get vmware with the vmmon and vmnet kernel modules installed, because it only supports Fedora 40 with Kernel version 6.10.10-200. I tried downgrading to that kernel but that didn't work, because kernel-headers-6.10.10-200.fc40.x86_64 couldn't be installed. mkubecek/vmware-host-modules didn't work either, but gleb-kun made some patches to it (thanks).
So anyway just in case anyone finds this useful who also has no idea about this stuff:
To use 17.5.1:
- download VMware from https://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/ws/17.5.1/23298084/linux/core/
- extract it, make it executable, run it as sudo
- it should be installed now but don't try to use it yet
- download the modules `wget https://github.com/gleb-kun/vmware-host-modules/archive/workstation-17.

You can favorite applications in Plasma Search settings
Thanks, that's what I did, and it works nicely for my small use-case now :)
*oh and I moved from Cloudflare Tunnels to port forwarding, and from the snap to AIO
Thanks for the answer. HDD Sentinel also says the disk is in good shape, but it hangs for a minute very often and is very cumbersome to use this way. I'm using the snap, so MySql

Should I switch to a Raspberry Pi or just buy a new HDD?
Hi, I'm running the Nextcloud snap on my dad's 12 year old laptop (hp elitebook 8470w) but it has some performance issues. It fails to load for half a minute pretty often.
I'm considering buying a rPi 5 instead to run a few things:
- umami.is or similar simple web analytics
- Nextcloud with memories.gallery to store all my family photos
- maybe HUGO to build websites
- possibly listmonk to send emails later
Another positive could be the lower power draw, but I'm not sure one pi5 is strong enough to run these.
What I'd need help with is the SMART results of the laptops HDD:
Getting these kinds of errors:

I hope they ban WhatsApp if anyone sends a bomb threath trough WhatsApp
What'd help with spreading this app more is if you could create a one-click installable package for less experienced users
