Krita worked fine when first installed but now it is crashing as soon as it is opened and it is also slow and laggy. If I zoom in it will not do the command immediately and larger brush strokes don't appear on the canvas right away either. Krita often freezes.
I'm sorry, but without a lot more information we cannot do anything with reports like this. First try to reset Krita's settings: https://docs.krita.org/en/KritaFAQ.html#resetting-krita-configuration. You can also try to gather information about the crash: https://docs.krita.org/en/reference_manual/dr_minw_debugger.html#dr-minw . Finally, it might be relevant to have information about your system:see help/system information for bug reports.
