Check the attached screenshots.

Once you "tick" Canonical Partner, Close, Reload Synaptic and type "Skype".

It's very easy

You most welcome
Actually, I have to thank you. Because of you, the Wiki Page got updated. I added "How to install Skype" so everyone else can see it and follow these steps.

If you need anything else, please let me know

I think a smaller distro (Puppy?) and as much memory as the computer allows will fix the slowness. Unity, watching movies and listening to music is heavy on memory. One at a time, maybe, but not two together. 512 g of ram is very little in today's world. Ubuntu isn't for the older, less powerful desktop anymore.
