Sounds like something went wrong with the installation. Mint is overall more performant than windows. What slowed down?
I don't know the terminology but it slowed down like how a video game slowed down, everything was super choppy as if it had decreased framerate
Mind if I ask some things? If you don't want to try again, you can ignore this.
Did this happen while you were trying it out on the USB, or had the installation finished and you had removed the USB and restarted?
Were the nvidia d rivers installed in the driver manager? Was there any difference with the open source drivers?
Was secure boot disabled in your BIOS?
Was it a laptop or desktop? In case of laptop it might have been using battery saver mode. installing https://github.com/linrunner/TLP might have helped setting it up properly if you don't want to handle it yourself.
What graphics card do you have? I can check if there are any compatibility issues, though there shouldn't be unless it is decades old, in which case you might want to try out one of the more old hardware compatibility focused Linux distros.
