KDE Performance on certain windowed applications is extremely laggy.
I moved from using the GNOME graphical interface to KDE as I was having that common issue where the mouse will go off the screen to a secondary monitor when playing a game. Only reason I'm bringing this up is because this issue was not present on there but is here.
The issue I'm having is where some applications are laggy while others are not. For an example I could use FIreFox, Google Chrome or playing a game and its completely fine. But two applications which i use that are having this slowdown is Steam and Discord. If anyone knows if I'm doing something wrong or if there is a fix it would be much appreciated!

You will likely need to reinstall.
Switching DEs with rebasing is not encouraged nor supported with mention of this in the docs. It causes lots of conflicting configuration files that will be very difficult to clean.
I didnt rebase I reinstalled KDE twice
Okay when you said moved the assumption was a rebase. Did you bring your entire home directory including configs? That would have the same effect of weirdness.
No I just reinstalled everything, decided that transferring would probably not be a good idea.
Okay good so you didn't perform a rebase.
Nvidia? Yeah nvidia
Apparently nvidia has a bug with gnome's VRR right now which is why the newer installs have it disabled.
I think there's a fix in the pipeline.
But no idea on estimate
