Not said to me but someone I know, “you’re a lanky string of piss”.

I spent some time in a live ISO and had no issues. Haven’t tried a snapshot yet though.

I booted into a live usb and haven’t had issues so it seems like a driver issue (thankfully).

I’m using a GTX 1660 TI.

Nothing has changed hardware wise for months. Last software update (before today) was 4-7 days ago.

I’m 80% sure I do. I hadn’t updated for a few days (before today) and it had been working up until earlier today.

I booted into an EndeavourOS live USB (just to keep it all the same) and there hasn’t been any freezing. So it seems like a driver issue then.

I’m no expert but I assume that the year Christ died would be “year zero” (assuming you’re talking about anno Domini (AD) and before Christ (BC)) since we started counting after that.

EDIT: reading more on the topic I might be completely incorrect with my above statement. If someone else knows, please do correct me

EDIT 2: I found this on Wikipedia which talks about a “year zero”
