Why is my sudo process freezing?

When my laptop is at work (running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed), and when the network cable -> USB adapter is plugged in, eventually in a day the computer sort-of-freezes. I can still operate everything normally, but as soon as I attempt any sudo command, the process attempting it freezes; this includes sudo reboot. On the other hand, doing an su -s still seems to work. It's purely the sudo that is frozen, and it seems to be related to being plugged in to the network via the USB adapter.
As a side note, this does NOT happen when I use KDE as my window manager; however, I usually use exwm (emacs). I can't even think of a possible explanation. Any ideas?

What the brand and model of your notebook? does it have an ethernet port?

defining your hostname in /etc/hosts is it possible, and does it solve the problem?

In this case, I would be more inclined that you could be using a dodgy ethernet adapter. Please details the brand and/or the output oflsbusbcommand in the question. However, the XPS 13 has known wifi problems due to bad design of the board.
