Yes, I believe having installed a proprietary driver could’ve caused this. I didn’t realize this at the time of installing the driver, but I think the file name "amdgpu-pro-21.20-1271047-ubuntu-20.04" clearly indicates that this is in fact AMD’s proprietary driver. Curiously, the issue didn’t happen immediately after installing this driver and rebooting. I used the computer for at least two sessions after this and everything was seemingly fine.
In any case, things are mostly in order now. I have yet to test if my initially reported issue of locking the computer crashing the driver is still resolved. I will get back with an updated report on this.
