When using Debian Trixie with backports, you get an additional kernel identifyer which breaks version identification.
With the change using Python semver, this is solved automatically 😃

After the changes made, I was able to successfully run the script on my Debian Trixie system using the 6.16.3+deb13-amd64 kernel and after rebooting, I had a blazing fast VMware® Workstation 17 Pro 17.6.3 build-24583834 up and running !

Thanks for the efforts !

One thing to comment: is it possible to disable the automatic conda environment after the script run? Kind of annyoing to disable it on each terminal session manually. (yes, I just could comment out the part in .bashrc)...

NOTE that this PR has been updated for the use with newer kernels, see comment below.

Note that I have updated this PR with changes from PR #13 which allows using new kernels.
At the time of writing this is kernel 6.19.x

This now makes it much easier to use one branch for local use instead of first merging one into another.
