If the issue is limited to the desktop it would be easier just to log in to a different DE. It may not look as fancy, but you could actually find your computer more responsive because Plasma isn't exactly low-resource anymore (as far as I can tell).
May as well try to do this, and it's going slow for me considering I'm doing other things, but I'm getting through it. Thank you for all your help into seeing this btw I really appreciate it.

That will probably also uninstall most of what gives you the Plasma DE (but I can be wrong).
There's an alternative KDE desktop shell which is purely widget-based (no QML like Plasma uses primarily nowadays I think). You can run that as an alternative to plasmashell. Last time I checked it probably didn't have an "edit mode" at all. So there's that solution. You may have to build it yourself though, if no one made a PPA for it.
