That still doesn't explain why it's swapping. Swap is on the disk, so it should only be used when +90% of RAM is in use.

JUST

$ cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

Wrong. Everything was lagging until I pushed everything from swap back into RAM by turning the swap off.

gnome-shell was slow.
Everything was disk sleep and not responding.

Enlighten us anon

Not him, but the linux kernel will try swapping to disk by default. This was important for older computers, but you can safely turn it off on computers with 8GB RAM or more.

Alternatively, don't create a swap partition on your next linux install

System started 4 Cora of ram used wait my computer is making updated so i cannot turn it off

What are you complaining about?
That Linux is using 38.7% of your physical RAM?
That Linux is using swap more than physical RAM?
That gnome is leaking diarrhea?

For the first one, idk what to tell you, you need to figure it out yourself. Your daemons are your own, and you need to learn how to fight them.
For the second, it's fine. Some tasks don't need to be in physical memory and are just there idling. If you have an SSD, your performance will be negligibly different that pure RAM.
For the last, install Gentoo.

Swap is useful when you want to suspend to disk though.
