Do you have the latest graphics drivers installed? If you don't that could totally cause the slowness you're describing.
I don't know Manjaro, but on Mint/Ubuntu/other Debian-like systems you can't get the very latest drivers using package management: you have to download them, then memorize some commands, close your GUI, and run those commands at the "real" command line (ie. CTRL + ALT + 1-6).
However, personally I didn't need the latest bleeding edge drivers, I was able to find a repository (maybe even the main one, I can't remember) with some "close to the latest" drivers, and they worked for me.
P.S. You don't happen to have a built-in (ie. on your motherboard) graphics card do you? I do, and at one point my computer was using the on-board one instead of my Nvidia graphics card.
There's some way you can check, but I forget how off the top of my head (probably some variant of running "lspci" and grep-ing for "nvidia"). If you do have both, and your computer is using the on-board one, you can either use your system's tool (Driver Manager on Linux Mint MATE) to force it to use the real card, or you can use this Nvidia Prime (also sometimes called "Optimus") program to control which card your computer uses.

Great Suggestions, thank you!
I ended up staying up much later than I should have...you see, I found a product by Duxa. Duxa's All In One. And I needed the CPU thing from him. It worked like a charm!
Well, until it no longer worked that is. Then I had to do a partial reinstall, reconfigure a few things and start again! All of this work for a little trip down memory lane! lol
Now, I am able to play...however (hahah, always however) I cannot access the Froglock and VahShir characters...I don't even see a the dragon-type characters in my character creation screen....it says I don't have those (froglok and Vahshir) expansions...but I used the Titanium set which gave me like 25 expansions or something, no? Maybe I misunderstood something. At any rate, I guess I'll need to make a new post about that if you, or someone else reading this, doesn't have any suggestions.
Otherwise, it's great! I can make all the usual characters.
Again, thank you for your reply!
