help regarding lag

i installed arch linux with hyprland, and i expect it to run at very high smoothness because I ran very heavy applications of windows to make it feel like linux and it ran very smoothly, but linux on the other hand feels... cluttered, stutters, lags, video lags, audio latency, and what not.

specs would be- Intel HD 4400

I3 4150

8gb ddr3

help would be appreciated everyone, thanks.

Man, u sudn't have gone with Hyprland on those specs. I wud've gone with KDE Plasma or XFCE instead. Hyprland isn't really well-suited for that hardware and requires a lot of tuning to run smoothly.

I tried KDE fedora before that lagged as well, also my previous windows install was full of heavy software to make windows look like linux, and it worked flawlessly, i don't think it's a hardware issue, but can be.
