VMware Horizon fails to install

Trying to install from a local RPM file I downloaded directly from the website. Renamed the file for ease-of-use. 
rpm-ostree install ./vmware.rpm

ah yep, seems to require kernel modules after searching the bazzite channel

Ah okay. Is it one that can be added as a layer for bazzite? Or is that out of scope?
matt_schwartz

I don’t think you can layer those, I think it’s “fork and add to kmods” territory. I think most people use boxes or qemu directly.

So I’m out of luck I suppose with using it on Bazzite.

You can ask Kyle about a kmod for it and there’s also a pretty good guide for forking your own image, but yeah it seems like this is one of those packages that is notoriously finicky. Kmods also have to be rebuilt every kernel even on standard Fedora kernels afaik.
