I am currently running a dual boot setup for ubuntu 18.04 and windows 10. While building some code on ubuntu(along with several internet tabs opened), my computer will freeze and lag to the point i need to do something like make -j1 and close tabs for it to work. It is getting annoying. Is my bottleneck simply a lack of memory? Can i do anything else other than upgrading my ram? This is what my system process looks like when my computer froze
here
this is how my lshw looks like
