My Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with 8GiB DDR3 RAM is working very slow. Swap size is 8GiB. Always I open 1 chrome browser (with 10-11tabs). And one Simple IDE (Visual Studio Code).

If you run system monitor, what does it show for the highest usage of %CPU and for Memory? Also, what does free -h show?

Memory - 7.5 from 7.7. Cpu - 15%, 5%, 13%, 6% (4 cores)

Do you mean 7.5G out of 7.7G of available memory is being used? If so, next look for what is using so much memory. If it is a program that just uses a lot of RAM, then you need more memory. If it is something that shouldn't be using that much, then that process or processes need to be looked into.

Visual Studio Code is not simple IDE. It is modern glossy slow Electron-based IDE. Simple IDEs are Geany, CodeBlocks or something other lightweight. And of course you should rungnome-system-monitororhtopto determine RAM usage.
