Vmware Workstation on Windows 11

 I finally figured out why Vmware Workstation virtual machines are so slow on Windows 11. Here are the steps:

1. Disable Hyper-V on Windows, following the instructions here. 
2. Install the virtual machine system.
3. If typing in the virtual machine is slow, the fix can be found here and here.

This is especially important because now Vmware Workstation is free for personal use. This is the instruction to follow. 

Do you see the leash on your neck?

According to this post, both Apple and MS are tightening the leash on general desktop computer users by restricting their freedom of installing and running the software they like, with their shiny new OSs.

Fortunately we still have Linux and BSD.
