I'm about to reinstall Arch, but before that, I want to try and overclock my laptop screen.
I have tried using Xrandr on Ubuntu, Kali And Arch Linux on X11, and it never worked, ever, I do want to mention that my nvidia gpu cant display to my laptop, its not a hyprid laptop, it can only display through hdmi, so you have to use the Intel UHD Graphics card. I also tried on wayland, never worked, so then I just gave up (I tried some other kde docter thing). Xrandr just never changed it, it was stuck on 60hz, and when forced to change: Blank Screen.
I know that my laptop screen can go up to 96hz because with CRU on Windows, I could add a custom resolution (1920x1080 @96hz) and reboot, change it in Windows settings, and then bam, I got 96hz, couldnt do that on linux.
I also know its not a fluke because I took a slo-mo video when I got this, and it was indeed a higher refresh rate, so, what do I do now?
Im an Arch user using Wayland on KDE, with systemd (if that helps), I also no longer have Windows.

I know usually turning to the AI is a bad idea, but after over a day trying to find an answer, we came to this conclusion:
"We must conclude that Linux cannot reliably achieve 96Hz on your internal display with this hardware configuration. The limitations appear to be:
- Intel i915 driver restrictions
- Kernel-level safeguards
- Panel firmware compatibility
- NVIDIA GPU unable to drive internal display"
If anyone can find anything related to this, and potential answers, please let me know.
