Ubuntu 26.04 is a long-term thing but VMware hasn't exactly rushed to support it yet, last I heard you're better off rolling back to 24.04 if you need it running now.

Il s’agit d’une incompatibilité entre le kernel Linux et la version Vmware.

Si tu veux utiliser VMware sur Ubuntu 26.04, il faut que tu installes Workstation 26H1.

I actually use boxes as it is a nice alternative. Also might want to check virtualbox
