It's because the display on the BBone isn't accelerated using the GPU
and as KDE is all 3D it has to use the CPU for all the rendering. The
beagle bone is not a good device for graphical userspace.

The BeagleBone has an onobard eMMC (like a soldered mSD card) not NAND
storage. Once you've booted off the mSD card you can using the same
process for writing out an image to the eMMC as you did for writing
the SD card.
Ah thank you Peter I didn't think about KDE trying to display OpenGL I will consider another device for this, and perhaps us the BeagleBone for narrowing down the problem or something similar. Thank you for time!
