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 Win๐ ฑ๏ธows
Tap for spoiler
Okay 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 thatthen... 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?
Would take a closer look sometime, thanks for notes :d
