snap, some from the terminal and some through the software app, but I have some other apps from snap that work fine
Running snap and or flatpaks can sometimes be problematic. Try the install Brave via their pages instead and test it:

I already tried that the second time I installed Zorin, also re-did the bootable usb to see if the ISO was the problem
That looks like a Graphics issue.
What Graphics are you using?
It would make sense if using Snap or Flatpak, that the package would be unable to access system graphics.

I have a Gtx 1650, I used the "install Zorin with Nvidia drivers" option, shouldnt it be enough with that?
Any Nvidia driver between 470 and 525 should work well with that card.
Which kernel are you on?
uname -r
Kernel: 5.15.0-84-generic
How Do I know which driver I have installed?
Launch Software & Updates from the app menu or from alt+F2 and entering in software-properties-gtk
Move to the Additional Drivers tab.
Note which driver you are using. I recommend trying the 470 driver first and rolling back to the 5.15.0-83 kernel to test it on.
You can roll back the kernel by Rebooting- tapping esc or tab to pull up the Grub menu and selecting Advanced Options for Zorin and choosing Zorin on 5.15.0-83
ok, I will try that
So, New problem. I selected the 470 driver and restarted the computer, the trackpad,wifi & keyboard shortcuts did not work that time but the issue from the colors was solved. I then tried it from the -84 kernel and the 3 new problems dissapeared but the colored boxes started again. Now my computer only works if I boot from the -84 kernel, the 78 and 86 both dont have wifi or trackpad 
oof...
So it looks like you have two divergent pieces of hardware - some that need newer kernel support and some that need older kernel support.
Really... it comes down to the graphics card being the primary culprit here, though.
Or at least, Nvidias greed in dropping support for their own cards.
This one may boil down to needing to upgrade your graphics card.
Well, Its a laptop so not much I can do 
It worked fine when using dual boot with Windows though, The zorin version was an older one, I think the one from 2022. With that installation I had no problems, I just wanted to fully delete windows and start from 0 so I installed the new one
Zorin OS 16.1?
I don't know exactly which version, it was late 2021/almost 2022 when I installed it, so thats Why I think its a bug from the new version.
Trackpad, keyboard and Wifi all worked as well as no Graphics glitches?
Could Four things have regressed in later kernels? That would be a stretch but...
Maybe test the 5.13.0-28 kernel that dates to the release of Zorin OS 16.1 and be sure...
sudo apt install linux-headers-5.13.0-28-generic linux-modules-5.13.0-28-generic linux-modules-extra-5.13.0-28-generic linux-image-5.13.0-28-generic
Ok, I will try, thanks for the help
How Do I make it my default kernel, I always have to select it when I boot up??
You can use this method:
thx man, I will try some different methods to see if I can solve the problem, but thanks for the help
