For your really new hardware I'd recommend a later kernel. You could try it with liquorix.
If you are on Wayland you could test if it is better when you switch to XOrg or the other way around. Logout and at login click on your username, then a cog wheal appears at the bottom right corner. There select "Zorin Desktop on Xorg".
Disable secure boot and fast boot in your BIOS and if you have a Dualboot with Windows also disable fast startup there.
When you uninstall apps in terminal you can remove all at the same time and need the password only once, but you have to know the exact names of the apps,
e.g.
sudo apt remove evolution brasero
You can enter all apps there one after another. You can also replace remove with purge to also remove all config files.
sudo apt purge evolution brasero
To see the names of the installed apps you can use
apt list --installed
Another option is to use synaptic package manager, but you would first have to install it. With synaptic you can mark all apps that you want to remove and when you click on apply they will be removed all together. But the program is not so easy to use for beginners as gnome software manager.
