Hi,

I am hoping to get some help with my Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS system. Takes me
5+ seconds just to enter commands, switch between apps, etc.

Try checking your hard disk's health with smartctl (package smartmontools). Try 
replacing the hard disk's SATA cable.

Because I am terrible at reading comprehension.

Have you ruled out the usual suspects?

- How much RAM as you using?
free -h
owner@owner-HP-Compaq-8000-Elite-CMT-PC:~$ free -h
              total        used        free      shared buff/cache   available
Mem:          7.6Gi       1.9Gi       1.0Gi       103Mi 4.7Gi       5.3Gi
Swap:         2.0Gi       699Mi       1.3Gi

will help check that out?

- Are you swapping?
I don't know.

- Are you using up too much CPU bandwidth? I prefer using htop to get
an ongoing view, but you could get those details from top.
