So, I asked the audience what they thought, and I am now playing with Ubuntu Pops. I am reading through all of the posts, and since I have beaucoup storage, I can easily spin up a new vm and play.
Oddly, I cannot set the desktop resolution to my native monitor resolution of 2560x1400. It wants to use 2560x1600 which annoys the living hell out of me. In searching, I come across this command: "xrandr". Now, imagine my surprise when I type "man xrandr" and get 50+ options. This is the Unix problem trying to map out the Microsoft insanity.
I'd cut and paste the man page, but Unix doesn't coexist well with Windows yet (pretty sure it's a vmware thing - a whole different bucket of worms).
It's okay, I just had to laugh a bit. This is small potatoes compared to the in-laws.

hit xrandr with NO options. it'll tell you your choices of resolution that are supported.

teetering on into programming or system questions, so I did that. Still working on the cut/paste issue, but that little feature was lost in the noise. Maybe the most useful feature. With linux, one does not run random commands like "rm -f /.*" or however you ruin your day.  So, I would never have thought of that. But I'm getting back into the pool, it's going to be 95 here today, so I'm going to the pool.
The part that interests me is why xrandr would not detect a display at 2560x1440?
This smells like a VMware tools issue... working it.

Yeah xrandr will only offer you what the underlying driver supports, and that can be many layers removed from the hardware.

This may be a VMWare thing. Have you installed Open VM Tools yet on the Guest OS?

trying. the machine I'm working on has vmplayer, the other machine has my licensed version of workstation pro, they don't play the same. I'm more familiar with workstation.
but I agree. Digging through it. I smell my first article coming on.

I've not found a VM that works for me presently except WSL.
VMWare is glitchy as hell these days. For example I go to backspace, and it keeps feeding backspaces into the buffer even after I've release the key. I have to kill VM Ware to make it stop. Two different PCs.
VirtualBox has bad issues capturing USB. It works with some devices, but not others.
WSL fails because of their removable storage hack, but you can work around it by recompiling the kernel and then exposing your removable storage from the windows side as an iSCSI device. From there you can connect in WSL like any other block device, format it with linux fs etc.
Of all of those issues, the last one is the most manageable.

I had VirtualBox for a long time, using it mainly to test our installers. The IT gestapo found out and I had to uninstall it. They wanted me to use VMWare instead, but their install using our corporate license always failed  .
Debugging an installer issue now requires re-imaging a test machine with fresh Windows 10/11 in a lab 300 feet down the hallway, testing the install, trudging back to my desk and fixing the issue, lather-rinse-repeat  .

I do get my steps in, however.
This completely ignores the 4-5 miles I run at lunchtime three days a week, so...

Install Ubuntu on a stick, boot from it, and see which options it offers. If it's different from the VM, you know where the problem lies.

well that's just brilliant. I can do that (as he glances at his box full of usb sticks)
