How can I see what instruction my computer is executing?

Question

My computer becomes extremely slow and I see the hard disk accessing as if someone was taking backup. How can I see what instruction my computer is executing?

I am using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS 64-bit on an HP Intel i3 computer, 1.5 TB hard drive, 4 GB RAM.

Have you taken a look at htop? – earthmeLon Jun 23 '20 at 02:09 — earthmeLon, Jun 23 '20 at 02:09
