Which features specifically do you need to adjust?

 

Pardon my ignorance, but as someone who has abandoned Windows years ago, I have no idea what AMD Radeon Software does in Windows.

 

In GNU+Linux, things are done a bit differently you might expect. The general philosophy is that any piece of software should do one thing and do it well. "Bloat" in software is discouraged. This philosophy is strongly favored in core components every system might need (in applications, such as games, office applications or media players etc., more bloat might be tolerated).

 

As a result, any GPU driver does just that - it's a GPU driver. Stuff which is (or should be) common to all display adapters or a GUI, is done "on top" of the driver on the GUI stack. For example display-related settings are done by the desktop environment (or the frontend, if it exists, is in the desktop environment).

 

The stage of these frontends might vary, as there is no central authority, APIs are in constant flux, there might be several standards (X.org and Wayland) etc. (there is a contrast here stemming from the development model compared to Windows or MacOS). Most things are done (or could be done) by simple command line tools "under the hood" (these tools still talk with APIs; but still many frontends use these command line tools, even if talking with the API would be more "correct").

 

As a result, often you need resort to command line or a third party frontend, which might not be as polished as you might have accustomed to in Windows.

 

If it is an overclocking frontend you are looking for, check out tuxclokcer or corectrl.

Found out some stupid and probably dangerous command to run lol

I cannot quote people with the built-in function because I almost never enable JavaScript on websites. You won't get notified if I reply to you, sadly :/
