After browsing around and trying to make my system finally work i decided to publish my personal software configuration guide created for myself to easier reproduce my configuration steps in future. Any advices or critics extremely welcomed!
Copy is here https://github.com/artempanin/clearlinux/blob/master/README.md

Just put a “freshpaper” in terminal , and wallpaper will be changed to most recent one

dnf config-manager --add-repo https://brave-browser-rpm-release.s3.brave.com/x86_64/
rpm --import https://brave-browser-rpm-release.s3.brave.com/brave-core.asc
dnf download brave-browser
rpm -U --nodeps brave-browser*.rpm
rm -f brave-*.rpm
sed -i 's\/usr/bin/brave-browser-stable\env FONTCONFIG_PATH=/usr/share/defaults/fonts /usr/bin/brave-browser-stable\g' /usr/share/applications/brave-browser.desktop
exit
Telegram
flatpak install flathub org.telegram.desktop
Protonmail Desktop Client installation with AppImage
mkdir ~/.apps
cd ~/.apps/ && wget https://github.com/unofficial-protonmail-desktop/application/releases/download/v1.2.1/Unofficial-desktop-client-for-ProtonMail-1.2.1.AppImage
chmod +x protonmail-desktop-unofficial*
sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/protonmail-desktop/application/master/src/main/images/Icon.png -O/usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/protonmail.png
echo -e "[Desktop Entry]\nType=Application\nName=ProtonMail\nIcon=protonmail\nExec=.apps/Unofficial-desktop-client-for-ProtonMail-1.2.1.AppImage\nTerminal=false\nCategories=Network;" > ~/.local/share/applications/protonmail.desktop
update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications/
Nextcloud
flatpak install flathub org.nextcloud.Nextcloud
Virtualization software
Virtualbox 6.1.14 Install
sudo swupd bundle-add kernel-native-dkms
cd ~/Downloads && wget https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/6.1.16/VirtualBox-6.1.16-140961-Linux_amd64.run
chmod +x VirtualBox-*.run
sudo ./VirtualBox-6.1.16-140961-Linux_amd64.run
Optional! In my case without this steps my laptop is not booting anymore
Find your boot partition by running (it will be the smallest one and named “EFI System”)
sudo fdisk -l
Creating mount point for boot partition. In my case boot partition is /dev/nvme0n1p1
sudo mkdir /media/boot && sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /media/boot/
No idea why, but this worked for me
sudo cp /media/boot/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI /media/boot/EFI/org.clearlinux/mmx64.efi
Now, add your user to vboxusers group , otherwise USB pass-through will not work
sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers $USER
Signing virtualbox modules
cd ~/Documents && openssl req -new -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout MOK.priv -outform DER -out MOK.der -nodes -days 36500 -subj "/CN=VirtualBox/"
sudo /usr/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/scripts/sign-file sha256 ./MOK.priv ./MOK.der $(modinfo -n vboxdrv)
sudo mokutil --import MOK.der
Reboot!
sudo reboot
After reboot finish setup
sudo /sbin/vboxconfig
Now you can use Virtualbox as usual
Vmware Workstation 15.5.6
sudo swupd bundle-add kernel-native-dkms
cd ~/Downloads/ && wget https://download3.vmware.com/software/wkst/file/VMware-Workstation-Full-15.5.6-16341506.x86_64.bundle
chmod +x VMware-Workstation-Full-15*
Now you need to run bundle. It will ask you about folder location , answer is /etc/init.d
sudo ./VMware-Workstation-Full-15.5.6-16341506.x86_64.bundle
Now we need to fix kernel modules , just follow the steps
cd ~/Downloads && wget https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/archive/workstation-15.5.6.tar.gz
tar -xzf workstation-15.5.6.tar.gz && cd vmware-host-modules-workstation-15.5.6/
tar -cf vmmon.tar vmmon-only && tar -cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only
sudo cp -v vmmon.tar vmnet.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/
sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
Now juts run Vmware Workstation and finish installation.
Only one problem that i am not solved yet, that after restart you need to run Vmware modules manually.
sudo /etc/init.d/vmware start
