Xfce 4.20 is out: Wayland support lands, but some pieces are still missing

NO virtual desktops??

If it doesn't support virtual desktops, it's useless to me. XFCE is my primary WM and I respect their work, but I wouldn't even have bothered to release it yet without VD support.

Microsoft and VMware end ancient grudge with new VM privilege workaround

Vmware has been better on Linux for years

If you want stability, you either run ESXI on bare metal, or Vmware on a Linux-based host. And even after this, you will probably see slowdowns if Vmware is forced into a subservient role under Hyper-V.

Personally, I stopped using Vmware Workstation years ago after I found out they FIRED THEIR ENTIRE WORKSTATION TEAM - the people who built the company and helped make it a success(!) -- and then outsourced development for it! Switched to Virtualbox and haven't looked back, except for one Player install on Linux. And I was a decent Workstation evangelist, active on their forums and providing assistance.
