recently after updating to ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu suddenly uses a lot of ram more ram than it used to. In daily usage, it has gone from using like 5GB of ram to like 11GB I don't even run that much. All I basically run is Firefox with about 8 tabs in general and a bunch of addons. I also run some JetBrains IDE whether that is pycharm, phpstorm or even rider. It still manages to eat up ram to about 11GB. Does anyone know any tools I can use to see how I can decrease the ram usage? Even something that will try and decrease ram usage for me.

Edit 1: Here is the output of free -h

Edit 2: Here are the other 2 outputs

Edit 3: here is snap list and ls -al

Edit 4: here is gnome extensions ls -al

Is there an easy way to create a custom keyboard layout in ubuntu. I have seen the many posts about the custom keyboard layouts, but they seemed long for what I need. All need is an American keyboard layout with a £ built-in. Yes I know the international us layout has it in but that keyboard layout makes typing " very hard. If there is some sort of tool which will allow me to do this easily then that would be great.

I've updated to the latest Ubuntu 20.04. I have been seeing that the gnome-software application is not showing the applications that I have installed. The applications do show when I kill gnome-software through the terminal like so sudo killall gnome-software and then reopen it. It is very annoying that I have to do this all the time. I initially thought this was a one time thing but now it has become frequent.

How do I make gnome-software show my applications?

I just updated to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and my super key has lost its main functionality. Previously in Ubuntu 18.04LTS, I was able to click the super key and the applications drawer would show. Now it doesn't do that. I can still open it by clicking super+a but it's annoying that it doesn't do that.

I restarted my machine and still nothing.

Before you mark this as duplicate, I've tried everything out there. I've been fiddling with gnome tweaks and added a theme by following this tutorial, https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/03/make-ubuntu-look-like-mac-5-steps I tried changing the, I followed this tutorial to change the background, https://vitux.com/how-to-change-login-lock-screen-background-in-ubuntu/. In a gist, it says to change this file /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/ubuntu.css which I did. When I lock my screen by pressing ⊞ Win + L it shows up but when I go restart my pc it never shows up. My theme is stored in a .themes folder in my home folder. I use the basic gdm3 which can installed when installing ubuntu 18.04. It is quite annoying that it doesn't persist.

You may be wondering why I have done this but, I wanted to it looks cool. I have now managed to make my ubuntu 18.04 installation look like macOSX 10.13-10.15. The problem I'm facing is firefox doesn't seem to use the close, minimize and maximize icons at all instead use something random. With title bar With out title bar Chrome seems to work fine, which is annoying since I only use firefox. To fix it I have to turn on the title bar, which I don't want to do. Also if I'm downloading a file it doesn't look like the theme. downloading something from firefox (This is not important but would be nice to fix.)
