i finally got around to setting up a linux dualboot (mint) and it seems cool. however, 144hz seems extremely choppy. is this a driver issue (i installed the latest one available)? (hexbear.net)

Are you using the proprietary Nvidia drivers? Also are you using X11 or Wayland?

Nvidia cards work best in X11 using the proprietary drivers. Nvidia is working on making Wayland support better, but it's not great as of right now.

Just realised they said Mint in the title, so they're likely using X11 still as the Wayland session is experimental
