I have read a similar question Why does Visual Studio Code work slow in Ubuntu?
But the answer doesn't seem to work for me. Can any of you please suggest me what needs to be done, so that my ubuntu doesn't slow down inspite of running VS-code. :)
I'm using a Dell Laptop - 4GB RAM, i3 processor.(Dell Inspiron 3521 to be precise).
I'm attaching the output of top command below.
