I noticed since the Anh-Linh update VMware Workstation has been exhibiting some instability, notably the session minimizing etc. I decided to try X11 instead of Wayland. This seems to have solved the problem.
As noted in other posts X11 SDDM screen menu option can be installed using
“sudo pacman -Syu plasma-x11-session”
Just remember it is a temporary solution and in about one year Plasma will throw x11 completely out of the window.
But maybe until then something in vmware will be updated.
This could be anything - kernel or display server protocol. Plasma made Wayland protocol default with Plasma 6.4 release, so it is not new.
Personally I have converted my VirtualBox and VMware to run using kernel virtualisation (Qemu/KVM) by use of libvirt and virtual machine manager.
Thanks I’ll look at Qemu/KVM
