My Mac mini randomly goes super slow for no reason. I downloaded all my apps from official sources and did countless virus scans. I'm gonna see about making Apple refund me (although I got it a few months ago). If not, I'll just destroy it. And yes, I've completely wiped it.

macOS already has built-in Security. see > macOS - Security - Apple
Third-party Virus Scanners and Protection App's, even those found in the Apple Store are not necessary.
In fact, 99.9% of those from official sources, do noting more than cause slowness and other problems.
There is one tool called EtreCheckPro that is excellent for finding out what is causing slowness.
Download and run the free version of EtreCheckPro, from > https://etrecheck.com/en/index.html
Then post your Report, as per > How to use the Add Text Feature When Post… - Apple Community
Refund won’t happen even in your wildest dreams. Destroy? If it makes you feel better, sure. Recycling is better. Have fun!
My friend wants it for some reason. Can't wait for him to tell me it's slower than an Apple II...
