Running slow - login, launching apps or waiting for sudo pswd prompt and switching users
I'm using Ubuntu 20.04. During the pandemic my video card crashed. It was just a basic video. I purchased a GeForce 1650 GTX and added a second monitor. I began noticing the log on screen took forever to come up or waited 30 secs for Thunderbird to launch. I installed the monitor app and discovered all the 8 cpu's were going from 0 to 100% randomly with nothing going on. All kinds of processes running. No one open for business here, so
1) Checked the BIOS with motherboard manufacture and updated it from P1.5 to L3.31
2) I reinstalled Ubuntu.
3) Problem persists even using only one monitor.
4) nvidia 440.64

The top command should either tell you which processes use the CPUs most. Or, if there is no clear "winner", you should see many CPU users, and their names may give you a clue as to what is going on.

I hate indexers, and habitually disable all of them. That being said, it probably indicates a problem somewhere if it's having a significant impact like that. I changed out my disk as I could see I/O was very slow, but made no difference. I suspect that 10 year old laptop had just started to deteriorate (bus, connector, who knows) and eventually junked it.
Have you run smart over the disk ?.
For some data, run this and post the output for us.
Code:
top -b -n 3 | grep -E "^top" -A 12 | awk '(NR > 1)' RS='--'

I had a similar problem with ballo on KDE and removed the package. I don't need something constantaly scanning the system slowing it down to makes searches a little faster. Remove the packages so they don't restart, assuming they will not remove your entire desktop because of dependencies.
apt show taker-extract says this:
Description: metadata database, indexer and search tool - metadata extractors
This package contains the metadata extractors.
.
Tracker is an advanced framework for first class objects with associated
metadata and tags. It provides a one stop solution for all metadata, tags,
shared object databases, search tools and indexing.
