I had technical difficulties for this episode, which means the video and audio weren't synced. So I had to go with a "slideshow" from the video, with normal audio.
The audio was fine, which is the most important part.
My computer has the *strangest* issue I've ever seen in my 34 years of working with computers. Every day, at 3:00 PM on the dot, it slows down. The slowdown lasts till about 4:30. I've looked into everything, tried installing a newer Linux kernel, rebooted the computer, checked the swap file, tried closing all programs, looked at the process list, etc. I posted on the Linux Mint forum -- no one had any ideas.
I recorded this episode during that slowdown window. Apparently it's not just *seeming* slower, but it actually *becomes* a computer from the early 2000s or something. My computer is barely a year old, and it was state-of-the-art when I built it last year. It's like a healthy, athletic 20 year old man who becomes unhealthy and feels/acts like an old man at 3:00 PM every day, for about 90 minutes.

I know absolutely nothing about Linux. Here's an app that shows which programs etc are stressing the computer.. Just a thought.

I saw this on another French site: it might just relate to older computers..dunno.
’utilisation de la mémoire virtuelle (use of virtual memory is )est le swappiness
# Pour (for)desktops avec SSD et HD mécanique, valeur préconisée ( default)
sudo bash -c 'echo "vm.swappiness=10" >> /etc/sysctl.conf'activez aussi (also activate)zram
Installer zram-config (diminution d’usure pour les SSD) (more efficient)
sudo apt-get install zram-config avantage > utilisation de la mémoire avant d’écrire dans la partition swap
(Memory use prior to writing in Swap partition)
God bless+

The item that spikes resource usage at 3:00 PM is "X.org" which is the screen manager.
The problem is, how to fix it.
I have the same exact version of Linux on a half-dozen other machines -- no problems.
