I recently installed Arch Linux on my Ideapad Gaming 3, which has 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, an RTX 3050 with 4GB, and an i5 11300H processor. I've just started gaming on Linux, but I'm experiencing stuttering in every game I try, from Roblox to Marvel Rivals. I'm not sure what's causing this issue. Any advice?

It sounds like you might not have the right GPU drivers installed. Have you checked if you've set up the official nVidia drivers? The open-source ones don’t always perform well with games, especially on Linux.
If you want to stick with Arch, consider trying out Cachy or Garuda. They have great tools for GPU optimization and might help improve your gaming performance.
Some users suggest switching to Windows if gaming is your main focus, as it might provide a smoother experience. Just a thought!
Thanks for the tips! I'll check out those distros!
