I looked at journalctl
for clues as to what might have happened. Here are the events that happened right after I plugged in the monitor:
journalctl
There were a few lines in there marked in red:

Issue/Bug Description:
When connecting to my usb-c monitor, the system freezes. When booting, it lets me put in my decryption password, but freezes after it says
cryptsetup: cryptdata: set up successfully
.Steps to reproduce (if you know):
I've done this on several clean installs using 21.04 and 20.04 on my
oryp5
Expected behavior:
To be able to use a monitor over usb-c.
Other Notes:
I found some related issues that seemed similar to mine, but some didn't mention freezing like mine, or froze for reasons besides plugging in a monitor.

If I were a betting man, I'd say it has something to do with the 5.11 kernel update that comes with the latest installers.
If there are instructions on downgrading to another kernel version for kernel noobies like me, I'd be happy to try that.
