@SortOfTested shit it's a gnome issue? That's the only thing that makes ubuntu usable for me. So what's the alternative to gnome that won't suck in context switching? Also bear in mind that i don't get Ubuntu much, but i would like to keep all the usual stuff working : nautilus/any other decent file manager, gedit, snap store , sudo for commands (not brew or pub or whatever other distros use), etc

@Demolishun it could i guess. My friend once told me he switched his optical drive with a ssd and joining it with some kind of temporary switch. But again his laptop fucks up once every 3 so i will definitely go towards a permanent soldering if i try that.
My main question is that my AS runs from opt/ folder and makes a ton of cache in folders like /.android , some etc/ folders, nd in our project folder too(which i make in my own partition , say P: drive ) .
How is everything going to work once i add an additional sdd? Would i be keeping my os there?
so my poor old hp bro is starting to give up on me after 3 years . there are both battery and performance issues. I knew its death was near when i got its keyboard replaced i saw its battery's state 6 months ago. it was fat as me . Now it can't live without the wire for more than 30 mins.
apart from that am getting frustrated with everyday performance of my system. all i open is 50 tabs of chrome and android studio where bitch gradle generates a billion byte sized files at million places and cache folders . (and sometimes a terminal and/or files and/or vscode).
I have decent specs tho i5 7th generation/8gb ddr4 ram/ 2gb nvidea graphics/ 1tb hdd. but still my ubuntu gets stuck everytime i switch between chrome and AS . (maybe i have not made correct swap partitions or maybe there is an issue due to ubuntu/windows dualboot)
what should i do ? I guess i have to spend some shit on a new battery. But apart from that, iwanted to know about performance. how to get a beter performance?
I have heard of solutions like getting an sdd or increasing ram, but am broke af and might not afford a 1tb ssd (yes i do need that much amount of memory, my system is currently at 650 something gb) and about ram i have heard it doesn't offer much improvements. is that true?What should i do?
