After the computer is opened for a while, at some point it gets extremely slow. It's not that it freezes, because if you move the mouse you can see that after 10-20 seconds moves a bit. I also tried to enter the terminal using Ctrl + Alt + F1 but the same happens. To write a single letter takes minutes. I tried to execute top or ps aux for example but it takes forever.

I keept monitoring my computer untill it became super slow and found out that it starts to get very slow when it runs out of swap. Due to big amount of firefox windows and the VirtualBox running a Ubuntu 18.04 server a lot of ram is used.
I managed to kill VirtualBox from the terminal opened with Alt+Shift+F2 and the system became usable again, although the swap usage didn't went down any more from 950M aprox.

Please open a new terminal window after booting with Ctrl-Alt-F2 and doswapon --show && topthen copy the results, do Ctrl-Alt-F1, and paste them into your question with edit. run your apps as you would normally. When the PC slows down, switch into the other terminal window with Ctrl-Alt-F2 again, then tap the up arrow cursor key and hit Enter. That will repeat the previous line run in that window. Hand copy the results, reboot, then come back here and provide the new results with edit. Please do not click Add Comment; instead, use edit.

Install htopsudo apt install htopthen immediately it boots, open up a terminal and typehtop. Leave it running on one half of the screen and then do your normal routine while keeping an eye on the processes and cpu usage in the htop terminal tab.

I kept executingtopandswap --showbefore the pc slowed down and just before it became unusable swap was completely full (976M out of 976M) but nothing appeared to be consuming a lot of cpu. I'm trying to get the results of the executions (top and swap) when it slows down on two files and I'll post them when I have them. I'm also runninghtopto keep an eye on the processes.

@joelac You just need more swap space. Please refer to this answer: askubuntu.com/a/1165500/968501 and follow the instructions to create a swapfile and use it. Best of luck

I kept executingtopandswap --showbefore the pc slowed down and just before it became unusable swap was completely full (976M out of 976M) but nothing appeared to be consuming a lot of cpu. I'm trying to get the results of the executions (top and swap) when it slows down on two files and I'll post them when I have them. I'm also runninghtopto keep an eye on the processes.

@joelac You just need more swap space. Please refer to this answer: askubuntu.com/a/1165500/968501 and follow the instructions to create a swapfile and use it. Best of luck
