Persistent Desktop Problems

I'm ultra new to Linux. No experience with coding, or the command line beyond the ability to follow instructions. I'm running Bazzite Nvidia stable. It's on 40, I think, I followed the directions to make sure it'll update from the dev malfunction. I've been having nothing but problems with both Wayland and X11. Plasmashell crashes. Firefox crashes with the crash report having lines blaming Wayland or the drivers. The desktop is sluggish or freezes. When the computer locks from inactivity or sleep mode it freezes or hangs. It wouldn't load at all from sleep mode just now and I had to force reset it. Telegram gave me a message that there's a problem with the graphics drivers and OpenGL (I don't know what that is). I have no idea how to fix any of these things. I tried searching for other ppl having similar issues and the conversations within are full of jargon and what I assume are lines of code or something, I don't know how to read any of it, much less figure out the directions or steps I could take. I'm really frustrated right now because I update everything with Discover/flathub and don't know what to do. I don't like how Gnome looks, otherwise I'd switch, but honestly I don't know how to switch to Gnome anyway so like I've attached a short video of me trying to log in and nothing responding, the message from telegram, a failed update through discover, and a photo of my computer on but nothing happening on the monitor despite the monitor being on, plugged in, etc

I was trying Bazzite for the first time last week and this was one of the biggest issues I experienced - Firefox was crashing intermittently, but consistent enough to be unusable. I did find a fixed Firefox bug regarding Wayland + Nvidia cards with "Explicit Sync" on - though I couldn't figure out what exactly that sync was and if I could disable it. I've found it's closed now for Firefox 130, wontfix for current stables: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1898476 I'm at my work PC now waiting for something to compile, but some system info: CPU: AMD Ryzen 9, recent generation GPU: Nvidia RTX 4080 Super Perhaps we give it another go when 130 is released
