Should I be seeing my GPU in Zorin like I do in windows 11? Attaching my system details, its as if Zorin doesn't think I have a GPU, I am not a Zorin guru just yet.
Should I even see it here?
Welcome to the Forum!
On ''Processor'' stands ''AMD Ryzen 5 7530U with Radeoon Graphics''
Did you looked in the Gnome Settings on the last Menu Point Info? There should be Your Graphics shown:
That's no Problem. Everyone starts sometimes. I'm not very long on Linux, too. Yes, that it is. And it shows Your AMD Graphics. But You want to see what Graphics exactly?

If you don't mind doing a little command, you can do this:
sudo apt install inxi
inxi -GaI guess it's kind of a dumb question, when I went to install something it was stating "no GPU found." (in Zorin) So I wasn't sure if it was actually using it. Perhaps windows 11 fakes it? Just wondering why I see a GPU in Windows, but not in Zorin from what i can gather.
@Storm, thanks for the command. Not afraid of the terminal, ran that and I see:

Well, it shows here and the correct driver is loaded. You could try switch between xorg and wayland to see if Gnome picks it up.
Thank you again Storm. I tried that, and I think I'll have to get over not seeing a pretty little GPU graph. 
I used your suggestion logging out and trying xorg again. Now I ran the glxgear command: glxgears
