So the OP is asking for help figuring out how to manage these processes,
and your response is to tell him that it's up to him to manage them? Not a
particularly useful response.

Yeah, I love me some Thinkpads. Used them at work for 10 years now, but
I have to run Windows there. I just picked up a T420 on ebay for home
use, Linux (Mint) just works. I bought this one to replace my T60 which
is still running Linux just fine but the fan is getting loud, again. I

You might want to just install VirtualBox on Windows, and use Windows as
the host. Use Windows only for booting. Your performance shouldn't be
bad, but you'll have to tweak the update settings in Windows so it doesn't
reboot out from under you.

Don't like swap thrashing? Shut off swap.
I'll chime in on this one more time just to be clear about what my beef
with linux is here. Several people have said, in effect, "Have more
RAM" or "Have enough RAM for what you need". Which is obviously true,
but missing the point.
For my day-to-day, I do have enough RAM. What sometimes happen

I need you people to recommend a good and stable laptop that would be

I am tired with the Lenovo systems and the various issues that keep
