Define slow, is the processing slow? Is the rendering slow? Is the storage access slow? Does the ram gets full and everything starts swapping and slowing down?

There are many kinds of slow and many factors to consider for each of them.

Install extra/htop and community/iotop. In htop see what processes take most CPU% and MEM%. With `sudo iotop -Pod5` sort by “disk read”or “disk write” (arrows) and see if any process is having high values there. Also the outputs of free -h and uptime. Check journalctl and, if using Xorg, Xorg’s log for possible problems (do not post it yet, as most likely it will be only noise now).

What kind of slowness are you experiencing?

also i forgot to tell i removed my .cache directory last night cause it was 11gig

The errors in the journal are related to the removal of the cache directory. They should be fixed by restarting the applications that use the cache so that they can regenerate their cache directories.

Check the output of "dmesg" for errors. Try rebooting too. I don't know what you have running or what was updated but maybe you need to restart everything to make sure that you are running compatible versions of everything.

If you are expecting help, please do what you are being asked for. Out of many questions given, you have answered one. And that single response is vague, not actually telling anything.
