The only reasonable difference I can find in the packaging that may have this effect is in the kernel.
I stubbornly have been sifting through and looking.
It might be worth testing the 5.4 or 5.8 LTS kernel on Zorin OS 16 to see if that shows this issue.

I have some things to do over the next couple days bit I'll give it a try as soon as I have time. Do you have a reference guide on how to do that?

Certainly:
sudo apt install linux-headers-5.8.0-63-generic linux-modules-5.8.0-63-generic linux-modules-extra-5.8.0-63-generic linux-image-5.8.0-63-generic
sudo apt install linux-headers-5.4.0-81-generic linux-modules-5.4.0-81-generic linux-modules-extra-5.4.0-81-generic linux-image-5.4.0-81-generic
Once kernels are installed, you can Reboot to select and boot into the other kernel:
To enter the Recovery Menu on Zorin OS if using Legacy (MBR) boot, you can hold or tap the Left Shift key at boot to be offered the Advanced Options for Zorin Grub menu.
If using EFI Boot, then tap the esc key vigorously. Some users report that the tab key worked, instead.
You might think that this is pretty straight-forward. However...
Some BIOS are programmed to ignore a key being held down, as it is assumed to be pressed by accident or a stuck key. Cat on keyboard, coffee... The BIOS prog…
If we find a working kernel, you can set it as default instead of booting by default into the latest kernel
You may need to use an earlier kernel than the current kernel used by Zorin. This method allows you to set the kernel that you will boot into by default.
To set the new kernel to default:
Boot into the kernel you wish to be Saved.
Open terminal and run:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
Change GRUB_DEFAULT=0 to GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
Hit enter to drop down a line.
Add GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true
ctrl+x to exit, then the y key to say yes to save, then the enter key to save as current configuration.
