I am sorry for delay. In the meantime I have found some more problems. In Windows when I checked tool called CrystalDiskInfo, I have found, that the disk, where the Mint is installed, is not functioning well. There are 200 bad sectors out of 183 limit. Warning. And in HW monitor tool I have seen that the SATA disk transfer speed in 3 gbs instead six. This could be source of one problem. And the second problem is that half hour earlier I have run "task manager" here in Mint - I cannot recall its name - it has similar icon like Htop, but it is Xce app and it displays the diagram of CPU load. So the CPU when it should be like 1-2 perc. of load it was 4 - 7 but slow. But then 30 second later 17 perc. 30, 40, 60 etc. 70! confused? I think the browser was either close or iddle. And U R right, there is plenty of RAM. This does not have to do with the RAM or SWAP but CPU usage.
I am going to read your massages, so I will update this post a bit later.

Edit:
I think the memory or swap use does not change much. I am here on linux just a hour or two just to read articles of Linux topic or to try bash scripting. I dont install any apps. Yesterday I tried Opera - just got to settings page and I had to reboot the linux. Damn It was so slow. For one click and waiting for opening a page of browser search settings because I wanted to get rid of google search engine on the new tab, so I have waited like 5 minutes to open that settings. Not sure if gettin the results. So I just rebooted. Opera is damn slow. Much worst than Firefox. Edge is product of MS, Im gonna avoid of using it...
So according boot.log is is near to an hour the Mint is on. The PaleMoon and this forum page is open.

Is there any command to xfce terminal to run to find out the current CPU usage? I could send it to you.
