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.

    After I had finished the installation and restarted

    I don't know, I don't use an Nvidia card

    Yes

    It's a desktop PC

    Intel Integrated Graphics 4000 (on a i7-3770 CPU)

    (I'm still probably not going to try again for the time being, but I figured I'd answer your questions anyways)

    I see. I remember there used to be issues with Intel GPUs on linux back 10-15 years ago, but it should work without issues today.

    However, on Linux mint you do have to open the driver manager and select your proprietary graphics driver yourself or you end up with the open source one which is not always as performant (though more backwards compatible). It should have the Intel drivers in there too. In general, only the graphics drivers need to be installed by the user and everything else should be set automatically.

    And in the case they were installed, rolling back to an earlier version of the driver might also improve it. It looks like Intel has stopped providing updates to the i7-3770 since a few years back, so a later Intel driver could be causing issues.

    It should work without any choppiness in the OS itself, but it might take a bit more configuration than newer ones that generally just immediately work.
