So I jumped ship from Windows to Kubuntu last night, and It's mostly been pretty good. However my general performance of the computer has been abysmal. Like it takes upwards of 5 seconds to open anything. All of my hardware seems to be running at max speeds, so I have no idea why it would be so sluggish? It's as if I'm running on 2gb of ram and a cpu at like 1.5ghz. My specs are:

i7-8700k at 4.7mhz max Amd Rx 6750xt 16gb ram at 3200mhz Linux is on an m.2

Any ideas? This is practically unusable for any normal operations, let alone any gaming.

Something's totally borked. Try a fresh install of a different distro

Similar experience sometimes with snaps. Some snaps take way too long to open. I have taken to just manually installing .Deb files for applications, but I will just ship and switch to Debian next.

This shouldn't happen. Try a different Distro

5 seconds to open anything

Define anything. The Firefox snap is not a speed demon, Steam is not one either. Have you actually tried gaming? Have you looked at KSysGuard, Top or any other performance monitor app to see if you have any CPU/memory hogs around?
