Today the file explorer started crashing when i try searching for a file, but suddenly the file explorer crashed and now, the entire application crashes when i use it. I don't know if i did somethin that broken the app, but i remenmber installing the amdgpu firmware some days ago. If necessary, here my specs:
ZorinOS 17.3 Core 64-bits
AMD Ryzen 3 3200g Vega 8
8,0 GiB of RAM
240,1 GB of storage
Your timing is incredible... In another thread, I just made this post:
Thanks, but also wanted to say that, at this moment, i don't have a dedicated gpu, i have installed the firmware because it was necessary to install rcedit for a game that i'am developing. In another word i've tried updating WINE from 9.0 to the most recent version, something that didn't happen for some reason, im quite new on Linux so i don't know if Zorin is locked in the 9.0 version.
Yes indeed thats because i have no idea what i have done, thats why i spoke about the gpu firmware.
I don't know about Wine, specifically, but many distributions have a policy of only making available packages that have been tested thoroughly. That means that updates are slow to come in order to ensure a stable system. So, it may very well be that Wine cannot be updated beyond 9.0 in the current version of Zorin OS.
As for the crashing of the file manager, you could try to launch it through the terminal (package name is "nautilus"), which will show some logs as it runs. Maybe there will be an error message that points to the issue.
PS: Edited your post above to format the quote block correctly.
You can take a look at this thread:
Can you detail what changes and installs you have done?
You're not guilty, don't get me wrong...
But, I too, develop things. And I run into other developers tools being bossy and demanding. Early on, this meant me messing up my system - often.
Things like python and glibc that they demand be upgraded, but doing so can break the system.
I learned other ways around that.
You can check using terminal with
grep " install " /var/log/dpkg.log
Welcome to the Forum!
I have the exact same Processor (only slightly overclocked) but 16 Gig's of RAM. And normally, You shouldn't need extra Drivers or Firmware for it.
You could try to uninstall the firmware and check of it still crashes. Another Option would be to reinstall nautilus (the file Manager) with the Command sudo apt reinstall nautilus
For installing Wine in the newest Version, You can take a Look at the Links of @Forpli.
It's about Godot engine, it NEEDS the most recent version of Wine to port the game to Windows
I've have installed to neofetch, Git, added an WINE prefix, added the 32-bits archetecture, confugurated dpkg its all i can remember.
This crashing problem does not affects much, but slowes me dowm uite a bunch.
Is godot engine for linux not suitable for you?

If reinstalling nautilus doesn't help, you could check if nautilus crashes when you create a new user account.
If not, then it is a config settings problem and you could try to the remove the .config files of nautilus via terminal in your normal user account:
~/.config/nautilus
and
~/.local/share/nautilus
(first make a backup copy of these files)
What is shown in terminal when you enter nautilus there as from @zenzen suggested?
It opens as usual, but 2 warning commands appear:
** (org.gnome.Nautilus:3870): WARNING **: 18:32:48.121: Unable to get contents of the bookmarks file: Error opening file /root/.gtk-bookmarks: Non-existent file or directory
** (org.gnome.Nautilus:3870): WARNING **: 18:32:48.121: Unable to get contents of the bookmarks file: Error opening file /root/.gtk-bookmarks: Non-existent file or directory
Going to try reinstalling nautilus
Still the same, also the bug is spreading, now, can't rename more than 1 file at the same time, maybe uninstalling the firmware fixes it
Update: No didn't at all
Are you opening directly to root?
I've used sudo nautilus, there is another command for it?
I can create a new acount, but the error persists
You can launch with
nautilus
Here guys, well, i've started playing Brutal Pack and Files app went back to normal unbelievable.
Jokes aside: Apparently it was the jankin'amdgpu firmware that was messing stuff up, like the system was sending the commands of what i wanted to the unexistant gpu or something like that. Thanks to everyone for the cool terminal commands 
Never trusting terminal-based downloads again ever lol
Also gotta make sure to actually buy stuff before installing their software.
If you download or install using the terminal, it is the exact same action as using the GUI - The GUI application performs the same commands on your behalf.
With time and experience, installing applications and recognizing dependencies gets a lot easier - and is nowhere as daunting as it first appears.
So trusting and believing in yourself is really the biggest step.
On Windows OS or Mac OS; installing applications can send everything into a downward spiral. And on those "more closed" systems, it is a lot harder to review and figure out what went wrong.
