A driver can absolutely freeze the entire computer.
That said it’s not really likely to be Nvidia since so many people are using that one without issues.
Linux people just like to hate on Nvidia and blame them for every possible issue because they’re not open source.
Sounds like you already know the real solution: use KDE

It’s still not possible to make Discord work correctly in Flatpak
Come back in another decade when things like Flatpak are actually usable without giving up a bunch of features or having to change settings or do workarounds to get everything working.
When I was doing web searches for distro research just before Win 10 EOL (and before Zorin exploded), Zorin was one of the top recommendations that I repeatedly saw from users in Linux communities when people asked for distro recommendations.
Zorin was also the top recommendation given to me by distrochooser.de.
So I’m not surprised that many people leaving Windows ended up there.
I made a short list of distros to try and Zorin was very buggy for me (possibly because they just did a major release at that time) and I don’t like GNOME, so I ultimately ended up on CachyOS.

Cachy already switched the default to it over a month ago in a beta ISO, but then they reverted it because it wasn’t stable.
Sounds terrible
This is what IDEs are for
Good
