Okay people: Win 10 is infinitely better than Win 11, so like if you're one of the few eccentric people that for some reason is required to use Win๐Ÿ…ฑ๏ธows

Tap for spoilerOkay so previously I tried PopOS and it kinda works but when I tried playing games (tetr.io to be exact) my framerate is half of my monitor's refresh rate and I had no idea how to fix it and at the time I'm using absolutely proprietary software required for my university and dual booting is a nightmare to deal with for some reason with Windows; and then at one point I also tried Bazzite, and no matter what I did, tetr.io would always operate on my iGPU and not on my discrete GPU (thanks NoVIDIA!!1!), so after that I dunno I'll just probably stick to Win 10 until I got a proper PC, and that's a whole story to have and I don't want another yapping session about that

then... there you go.

    For the problems you encountered: the refresh rate can be set in the monitor settings. If you can't go any higher, then there might be a problem with your graphics drivers. It is also important to add that Pop!OS is based on Ubuntu, which can take ages to implement modern changes. For Gaming I would generally recommend a rolling release distro, maybe it be OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, Fedora, etc... Otherwise you might not get the cutting edge tech that you need.

    As for Tetr.io: it seems to be a problem with Vulcan, namely that improperly configured drivers will use the iGPU by default. How do you install/run that game?
