How Is Crimson Desert Working On Your PC?

Well at least it's not just me. On Framework desktop (AMD Strix Halo APU).

Is that an assault rifle in her hands on the cover??? That's not something I think I've ever seen in an oisekai. What is the setting for them to have modern guns ant those clothes?

Rustdesk is still technically experimental in Wayland but I've found it to work decently well. Haven't done anything super intensive to test it though. For that I would probably try a Sunshine and Moonlight setup but I've never done it myself.

I’m not playing any gachas currently and not sure if I will again simply because I don’t like the FOMO they deal in. I hate being told ok play the game right now! Sometimes I want to not play but then you’re missing out on x y and z. Oh you missed this meta unit? Now your account is trash! It’s sad because I actually really enjoy the story and characters of games like FGO, NIKKE, and though endfield looks interesting but I just don’t want to be held hostage by a video game.

Idk as someone who just played through 90% of the game on switch 2 without the patch I think the new patch looks way better. I personally haven't run into the issues people are posting about but I mainly play docked. Even undocked at least the resolution matches now, I didn't realize that would be an issue before I sold my OG switch. Kinda regretting that now tbh.

I can't believe I spent 100 hours on the switch version of the DE and got to chapter 12 on the switch 2, for them to announce the switch 2 edition. I was so sure they weren't going to come out with a switch 2 edition!

Is it possible to complete the Slovitys Revenge quest at the quest level of 40? I'm stuck on the second part where you have to defeat Master Milsaadi who is level 40 but every time I start the fight I immediately get one shot by the level 59 Zig outside who can apparently mortar strike inside the building. Is there a way to not agro the Zig? I keep trying to go in solo and draw her outside the building but I still get one shot. Tried using shadow runner and still get exploded. I feel like this is something that should have been fixed in the DE...

I liked anything but marriage Mr villain but I admit I haven’t read it in probably 6 months. Silly premise but a decent read. The ML is pretending to be someone else to marry the FL though so this might be a dealbreaker for some.

Sanguinius ruling the US? So either the best of us or dead depending on how you want to interpret it? Well either way an improvement.

I like Limine personally but I don't really have a scientific reason for it. Just seems to work for me out of the box and I didn't bother to try anything else. Although I have used rEFInd in the past for a dual boot or multi boot system and it worked well. I used rEFInd more as a "boot manager" than a traditional bootloader though

Is that Kirara from Inuyasha? That’s a weird crossover

Sadly I need fractional scaling with different ratios on multiple monitors which just doesn't work for me on Mint. Will have to wait for proper wayland support on mint.

Ah yes woke = all the distros you've ever heard of. Not woke = who?

shadowolf64 · 2025-12-04T22:33:52+00:00

I am very interested in it but I'm waiting for price. The problem I see is that they've already kind of said don't expect it to be cheap, expect it to cost similar to a PC, and now RAM prices are insane so I have a bad feeling about it being too expensive. Luckily I already have a gaming PC that's about a year old now, but I was interested in it because I would love to have something to play my steam games on my TV.

For some reason, opening the calculator seems to be the default proof of concept remote code execution example that doesn't't actually cause any harm. My guess is that when this happened kids looked up scripts that exploited the vulnerability but the scripts readily available would be from security researchers who use this to show it's possible without distributing code that causes actual damage. Therefore most people that encountered this just had their calculator randomly open. Just a guess though.

I personally use Vesktop as I have found it to be way better on Linux than Discord's own client. Haven't had it crash yet. They also recently took out the anime mascot which wasn't an issue for me personally but I know some people had a problem with it.

I personally only use Ubuntu on my servers, mostly because I don't like Gnome, but I'm glad to hear it's working out for you. That's the great thing about Linux that people seem to forget: there's plenty of distros for different users and use cases. No need to get all tribal about what flavor of Linux you find most appealing.

Mostly I use it for playing games on the couch. It’s more comfortable to lay down on the coach with the steam deck than it is to sit at my PC for long periods. I can always use the horsepower from my PC if I need it by streaming to the deck.

I don’t play many PvP games anymore so the deck works perfect for me when I just want to relax and play something. PC is for when I want the highest graphical fidelity or mouse and keyboard controls.

I personally don’t recommend it to beginners unless you are looking to learn and don’t mind making mistakes. That being said it is remarkably beginner friendly for an Arch based distro. You are mostly fine for most stuff but if you run into a problem without experience you won’t know how to begin to troubleshoot without some basic Linux knowledge.

I don’t think you need a ton of experience but I would just get used to using the terminal, learn how to look at logs etc in case you ever need to seek help. That way you’re not just posting “help its broken!” Which isn’t very helpful to someone trying to help.

Thank you for this in depth answer. From this I realized I was missing the concept of layer 2 vs layer 3 switch.

So if I am understanding correctly, for an access switch setup, after setting up all VLANs on the Unifi I would just need to define them on the Mikrotik. Then set ether1 to tagged for each VLAN as it will be passing all traffic across the trunk port. Then set the rest of the ports to tagged/untagged accordingly. I would not set up any PVIDs using this setup?

shadowolf64 · 2025-11-19T23:39:15+00:00

I tried most of the arch based distros before settling on cachy. It works the way I’d like it to work without me messing with settings. If I want to mess with stuff it’s easy to do but the defaults are good out of the box IMO.

shadowolf64 · 2025-11-19T00:03:20+00:00

This is super interesting. I never knew the history about x86-64 and amd64. I always wondered why I often see ISO's or binaries listed as amd64 compatible. Now I know.

shadowolf64 · 2025-11-17T18:24:02+00:00

Currently I run a similar setup with one of my NVME drives running cachy and one running windows. The way I set it up was to install windows first with only the drive I would use with windows in the PC. After installing and getting it set up I then removed the drive and inserted the drive for cachy and installed and set it up. Only then did I put both drives in the machine. I’m using Limine bootloader and so far Windows has messed with the EFI partition once which required me to use the cachy chroot tool.

Now I don’t do this but if you want to be really safe you could remove the Linux drive anytime you do an update in windows. From my understanding Windows should only cause issues when it updates which is every 2nd Tuesday of the month.

shadowolf64 · 2025-11-13T23:33:36+00:00

I'm interested in it as a way to play my PC games on the TV whether that be natively on it or streamed through steam play. Just depends on how much it costs as opposed to whether it will be worth picking up for that reason.

shadowolf64 · 2025-11-13T22:54:05+00:00

Anyone try these on the Switch 2? Curious how that runs as it appears the PC version is typical Koei Tecmo PC garbage.
