Your system is running on a decent hardware setup but seems to be slow due to many installed extensions. Try disabling non-essential programs or using a lightweight launcher like LightDM or XFCE to reduce startup time. Also, consider updating your drivers and clearing temporary files for faster booting.
Obtain an SSD. It looks like you might be relying on a hard drive or a failing SSD. You don’t have to store all your apps there; just keep your operating system and a few essential programs, and everything will run much quicker.
You're starting from a specific version of your distribution. It seems the performance issues you're facing relate to container-based apps like containers, snaps, and flatpaks. Many users have moved away from Ubuntu because of these challenges. Distros such as PopOS still support Flatpak but might run smoother. Snaps tend to be the least efficient, especially after multiple installs. Flatpaks are less sluggish than native apps but can slow down with each new install. For a more traditional setup, consider Manjaro.
This clearly points to a hard drive or failing SSD problem. Running Windows on the same machine and drive reproduces the issue. On an SSD, switching to Linux from Grub takes less than five seconds, and applications start immediately. I've tested Ubuntu, Manjaro, Arch (my daily driver), Mint, Deepin, MX Linux, ArcoLinux, and around ten other distros across ten different hardware setups. An SSD Linux performs extremely quickly.
