From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Assuming you're referring to KDE, I experienced this as well when I changed my default session from GNOME to KDE. There was something in my dotfiles that was affecting KDE's overall responsiveness, because the performance was perfectly fine when tested in a brand new profile. Ultimately, I resolved it by cleaning up my ~/.config and ~/.local folders.
I didn't change from any desktop environment. But I think that I also use Gnome applications, not sure. cleaning .config or .local directory is not an option for me.
