Framework Laptop 13 Ryzen 7040 BIOS 3.16 Release STABLE

Argh! Only recently did I solve a problem whereby LibreOffice’s Impress would hard hang the system when displaying some particular slides onto an external monitor. (See here.) And now . . a BIOS update messes up external screens (and might also lock one out of the BIOS)? Lord above!

Currently I am on kernel 6.8.0-1032, non-OEM, on Linux Mint 22.1 (which is based upon Ubuntu . . 24.04). How, please, does one get the OEM kernels?

EDIT: There are even further serious problems with this BIOS update. Framework is really, really bad at BIOS.
