Hello. As mention in the title I have a 240hz alienware monitor and it doesn't work properly on linux (but does in win10). I am not in a virtual machine but a dual boot.
So, when I'm at 60Hz no problem. But when I get a higher refresh rate it blinks rapidely or looks terrible like the colors are melting. It's a bit like if it is out of sinc.
I don't know how to find the driver. I have already made the "Auto install proprietary drivers" in the Garuda assistant but didn't work.
here is my inxi -Faz :
