Bug vmware

I am new to LinuxMX
I use LinuxMINT normally
Since I use Windows programs on a daily basis, I install Vmware.
Once installed, Vmware starts up.
Vmware cannot be restarted after shutting down the computer.
I get the message "Could not open / dev / vmmon:"
To run Vmware you need to run "sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all" in the terminal
This is LinuxMX's fault.
I checked on a new LinuxMint installation and everything is fine.
I think this is a bug in LinuxMx and expect some help

on the grub boot menu, under "advanced options for MX Linux" there is an entry for systemd.

Thank you very much works ok
Can anyone explain what "systemd" is attached?
Why you don't have to run this in Linux Mint?

basically Mint boots with systemd by default and we use a different initialization system calld sysVinit because it works better with our live system, among other reasons.
More or less the user never needs to worry about how their system boots up, but some software makers, particularly proprietary software makers, no longer provide the scripts needed to start their services under sysVinit.
