AntergOS is just an Arch installer... Why should someone avoid it if he's not into all the work needed to set it up?

kawadoes esea client run under WINE
even if it did I'd be scared of getting esea banned or something

it does not. wine only does user space stuff for windows, not driver level which is required for the esea client. youre shit out of luck trying to use the esea client, probably the esl client and anything which uses drivers to handle anti cheat (hackshield, other anti-cheat measures usually used by asian mmorpgs.)

no it does not, the only way to get esea working is by either running it in a vm (really bad) or just switching to windows

fagoatseYou got memed into installing arch.
1) arch is a DYI distro
2) it might break any time you update it especially when you don't know what you're doing
3) you don't gain anything by using arch except for the ability to customize it as you desire and a large selection of software

Do yourself a favor and install solus. It's as optimized for desktop usage as it can get tbh. Something you won't get with arch unless you do some manual patching.
mastercomsI would also recommend installing and enabling irqbalance.
I believe that is meant for servers. I have never seen any benchmarks for that patch either.

Please convince that you didn't make a tf.tv account just to advertise solus

If you set up gpu-passthrough a windows vm is ok though.

Pain to set up, especially with nvidia, way easier to just dual boot windows

Yeah, I'm just getting 0.02$ off that sweet 2.5k patreon dosh. But seriously, I got triggered when people recommended gentoo to a newcomer in one of the first posts so I had to reply and solus is a genuinely good choice. In fact, it just got updated to kernel 4.13 even before arch.

recently switched over to Linux and can't seem to get 144hz working in TF2

I've set the correct refresh rate in my display options + NVIDIA driver settings, it works perfectly on the desktop and some games (namely Tropico 5) but in TF2 it's just choppy 60hz no matter what settings I use despite my FPS counter(s) showing up as constant 300+

any ideas? using Manjaro 17.0.5 w/ XFCE

EDIT: i turned off display compositing in my Window Manager tweaks and it immediately corrected the issue

Display compositing should automatically turn off. Are you in fullscreen mode?
