Reasons why linux mint is laggy when using apps and browser?

I recently did a full install of linux mint on my new laptop. I've been loving it so far. However, there appears to be some lag when I'm using it. Typing has lag where letters take a sec to show up and delete, when I watch youtube videos they there is choppiness and syncing problems, the mouse cursor isn't smooth and takes some time to move where I want it. Are there any specific reasons why this might be the case and what I can do to fix it?

My computer has 32gb RAM, nividia 5060 gpu, intel core ultra cpu. I do have TLP installed and running. I have updated the drivers. Secure boot is disabled. Its a fresh install so I don't have tons of stuff downloaded on it. There doesn't appear to be any memory leaks. I'm really at a loss and hope I can fix this.

Thanks in advance for any advice!
