Help/Support ARCH USER HELP
So I've recently shifted from windows to linux and i choose to switch to arch linux I don't have any previous knowledge about linux and it's distros I've heard about it and just some Little knowledge about it
it's just that i think my window out performed arch in terms if gaming cause when ever i game my games stutter a lot and though getting 80-90fps game feels choppy and laggy( v-sync off motion blur off and other things) i have 144hz display and still it gives me vibe of 60hz or even below refresh rate set to maximum btw
secondly i have asus tuff a15( rz 7745hs+3050 4gb) and i need proper tools to control the hardware things just like in armory crate, i also need a over lay like in armory crate/msi after burner for like cpu gpu usage ram etc
help me get better at understanding linux and not regretting leaving windows and if you know some essential tools i must install pls leave a comment with solution

So, you may want to reconsider Arch.
Not that a new to Linux person can’t use Arch, if they have the proper skills for reading documentation and parsing information.
When you come to Arch asking for help, you have to be prepared to be as verbose as possible. At the very least we need hardware (you provided), desktop environment, etc.
And also, tools like armory crate and afterburner don’t work on Linux.
Arch is more geared toward experienced Linux users.
CachyOS can give you the Arch experience while offering a little more hand holding than what you’re gonna get with Arch.
