So I restored my phone after the marshmallow update and now it runs really smooth, even much better than before the update. The biggest surprise is the battery life! It has almost doubled!!!
That's the LAST thing T-mobile and Samsung want to hear.I love the New update, everything is running faster and smoother!
I might keep it for another year

Does everyone here do a full restore after the update? I updated the other day but didn't factory restore reset my Note 5.

Updated mine last Saturday, I think it was. So far, there's a lot more to like than to dislike, IMO.
For one thing, the one touch call/msg function is back. Finally! My battery usage seems to be a little more frugal, too. Lots of little subtleties in the OS, none of which comes to mind just now.
The default clock/weather widget still sucks. Finally just ditched it in favor of Digi Clock. For the weather, until I can find a decent replacement, guess I'll just have to waste two seconds every time while the app from a local TV station loads. {sigh} What slaves to instant gratification we have become.
My only real complaint is that the stupid power saving alert has taken up permanent residence on my lock screen. Do I say screw it and forego the battery life or just try to ignore the constant, irrevocable notice that my phone is still eating up resources, and at least some of that battery life, solely for the purpose of reminding me that my phone is scrimping on its battery usage.
Still, like I said, there's a lot more to like about Marshmallow over Lollipop.
Since the MM update I got yesterday, I'm unable to attach photos or screenshot to my texts. Anyone have an idea what to do?

I just tried it and it's working for me, T-mobile Note 5 on Marshmallow. Maybe a carrier issue?
I find my FB feed updates fine if power saving is off. With it on I have to close most other apps that are running.Got the update. Having serious issues with data connectivity on out-of-screen apps. Torrents apps not working. Facebook app won't update feed without resetting the app. Really dissapointed. Very smooth and nicely made UI, however. Would like to get back to factory version.
