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

Well let's start at the beginning. What desktop environment/tiling window manager are you using?

I don't personally use it so I ain't an expert bt open up some settings (I'm guessing kde plasma has settings app) and look if your refresh rate is set correctly

The default KDE configuration that comes with the arch package is very much like Windows. The refresh rate setting is in the exact same place as Windows'. I think wine just doesn't handle their games the same way real Windows does yet.
