This is a followup question to my original question related to the Ubuntu 19.10 freeze where I had to restart the machine every time.
I looked up at my swapfile and it is of 2G size. I do have a 16G of RAM. But the memory that is being used by the swapfile is '0'. I don't understand what is going on with this.
$ swapon
NAME TYPE SIZE USED PRIO
/swapfile file 2G 0B -2
$ free
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 16383568 2503164 11927228 477108 1953176 13073208
Swap: 2097148 0 2097148
The following is the image. Can some one help me with this?
Update: The following are the version of the NVIDIA driver I have.

Update 2: The following are the results of systcl vm.swappiness
and grep -i swap /etc/fstab
~$ sysctl vm.swappiness
vm.swappiness = 60
~$ grep -i swap /etc/fstab
/swapfile none swap sw 0 0
Update 3: Added the result for ls -al /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions
- Did not have the folder extensions
under /.local/share/gnome-shell
$ ls -al /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions
total 20

Update 3: Here I am attaching the drivers I am using for the NVidia. I have tried 435
but I kept on seeing some display issues with it. They come and go. They are something like this.
Now I tried the 430
in the drivers section. This seems to work fine so far. I have seen those out of order pixels but very rarely. What could be the reason for this? And I tried installinng the newly release 440 drivers for the nVidia but it kept on failing and therefore as a lost resort I had to move back to 430.
sysctl vm.swappiness
, andgrep -i swap /etc/fstab
, and know that at geforce.com/drivers you'll find a newer 440.82 Nvidia driver that you can try. Report back. Start comments to me with @heynnema or I may miss them.ls -al ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions
andls -al /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions
