From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I also use krunner but unless I've misconfigured it, I wouldn't call it fast (and it freezes a lot since it runs in the background).
Compared to when I used rofi on hyprland (which was really fast). I'm back on KDE cause of the hyprland toxicity debacle, and honesty the only thing that isn't fast, customizable, and reliable is the app runner.
Krunner also has a weird quirk where as it loads entries, it will change the currently selected option so when you hit Enter, it will actually not execute the one you want, but instead run "Install "
Talking out loud I should probably bind alt+space to back to rofi or try Fuzzel or something
try disabling any krunner plugins you don't need. that should make things faster.
Yes, good addition to my comment, the first thing I do after a new install is also disabling most of the plugins, since there a LOT.
