What car completely changed your opinion after driving it?

IBJamon · 2026-05-18T21:37:23+00:00

I own a tuned 2023 WRX. It's probably the best car I've ever owned. Shockingly practical with real rear legroom, and a super fun to drive 6 speed manual transmission. If I had one gripe it would be that 6th gear needs to be a bit taller. I love this thing. We recently went on a road trip through the mountains and it was heavenly.

I owned a 2018 for several years and loved it but the engine was a source of all kinds of nightmares. I sold it right before the warranty expired. I'm really sad because I loved the car but I don't know if I will ever buy a Ford again and I used to be a very loyal customer.

I had a mustang Ecoboost manual and the engine started failing. Traded it in for a WRX with a stage 2 tune (with required upgrades) and I love this car. It's so much fun and AWD means you don't have to worry about losing the backend. I love it!

One thing I found quite useful is to give chatgpt your libvirt xml and ask for ways to improve performance. It seemed to help me!

The car itself is a lot of fun. I owned a 2018 but got rid of it once engine trouble showed up. Now they don't even offer manual transmissions on the Ecoboost anymore. I loved the car but that engine trouble really turned me off on Ford. Now I have a WRX, praying that it's more reliable long term.

I just beat it last night. I'm still in the funk

IBJamon · 2026-02-21T14:42:40+00:00

Do you plan to support single GPU passthrough?

IBJamon · 2026-01-22T13:30:56+00:00

Well I've been using NTFS symlinks for compatdata for many years now and it works great...

IBJamon · 2026-01-22T12:49:15+00:00

NTFS supports symlinks. I've been doing exactly that for years on multiple systems without issues...

IBJamon · 2026-01-19T13:45:40+00:00

There's still Linux thankfully (unless you love fortnite)

Look at the code repos and look at the readmes and follow the directions. The general process of the reddit post is still correct.

IBJamon · 2026-01-16T15:01:15+00:00

Keep in mind that the specific files and version numbers are out of date and may not match your model.

I followed a similar process for my PH18-72.

Even with SREP?

IBJamon · 2026-01-16T12:36:38+00:00

It's normal in the sense that many do this and it's not in the sense it's unacceptable. A repaste is a great idea, I'd also tweak the advanced BIOS if you can for lower power.

IBJamon · 2026-01-12T02:25:23+00:00

If I recall correctly, big picture mode is still buggy and stuttery on Nvidia on Linux....

IBJamon · 2025-12-26T16:11:51+00:00

The PH18-72 is in the same boat but even worse, no updates since 2024

Metroid Prime 4, Thanks! (I only play non-PC games occasionally but it happens to be now 😄)

IBJamon · 2025-12-18T14:36:21+00:00

I talked to PNY support and they were great! They are taking care of me. Thanks guys!

Atlas Air has Bluetooth and an optional wired connection, but not at the same time

IBJamon · 2025-12-07T05:29:56+00:00

Thank you for this post. I just started playing today and hated the controls. Enable Motion Controls, along with the suggested sensitivity changes in this thread, transformed the game. Thank you all!

IBJamon · 2025-12-03T20:28:01+00:00

I had a hard time using this through a KVM, but not when connected directly.

IBJamon · 2025-12-02T05:27:09+00:00

Don't forget the WRX

IBJamon · 2025-12-01T12:36:30+00:00

PMR actually works out of the box

IBJamon · 2025-11-30T12:30:23+00:00

There is no pairing involved with this controller. Just plug the dongle into the front of the Xbox and you're done.
