My computer is running sooo slow.

It has a heap of loop file systems, which seems excessive although I'm really unsure of what to do, but it crashes sometimes when I'm just watching YouTube, with nothing else open, so understandable I hope to fix this issue. It's also maxed out on swap memory.

I'm not great with terminology, but I am happy to provide any additional info if needed. I'm running Ubuntu 19.04.

Any help will be hugely appreciated :)

Though computer is still running far too slow, this certainly did help speed it up somewhat:

gsettings set org.gnome.shell disable-user-extensions true
