Update: Since implementing Clem’s workaround, I have not seen a single issue with freezing since and the laptop gets used daily. I think the workaround can be called a ‘fix’.
So far so good.

Clem, you say we are waiting for the bug to be fixed upstream but is there a bug report that we can monitor to see when this is resolved?
I’ve written a simple script that does this for me as I have a few of these machines that I use as loaner devices and envisage wiping and rebuilding them frequently so this can save me some time. others are welcome to use this to and i welcome improvements to it.

Hi Clem - two questions: Will dmesg or syslog provide an entry confirming that I’m hitting this particular issue when my instance locks up? And, any eta on Mint providing fix such that we won’t need a workaround. Thanks!

Feel like everyone glanced over your solution about the patch. LOL. Probably because compiling does take some knowledge. I compiled 6.17.5 but still encountered issue but I was assuming I caused something. Been hard as hell to debug. Now time to learn how to patch kernel after I verify its not already in 6.17.5 
Fingers crossed
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
I can verify kern 6.14.7, 6.15.*, 6.17.5 also experienced same issue with X11 freeze(with only mouse visible). Been leveling up my Linux skills compiling kernels trying to track this issue down. May have lost a little hair too. Debugging this issue has pushed my skills to the limit.
Looks like some fixes are in the pipeline for kernel. Unsure if they directly relate to PSR issues. Need to read through patches.

Thank you Clem! Been a Linux Mint user for almost a decade now and appreciate all the work you’ve put into it.
OP here, I did get the Framework 13 with Ryzen knowing full well there may be Linux issues. Tho I was just surprised they came up after I’ve been using the 6.14 kernel for at least a couple months and some patch updates suddenly triggered the issues.
That laptop didn’t need to be my main driver so life had taken me away from fixing it but I will be catching up with the potential fixes and get more time to get my lovely new Framework laptop working again so I can let my wife use the Framework 12.
This is an aside to the actual problem but I’m glad you are enjoying getting deeper into Linux.
I went the opposite route – I started Linux journey with Mandrake and Slackware back in the early 2000s until I found Gentoo was a nice compromise. It was fun but, like you, I “lost my hair” trying to figure things out all the time. I’ve been enjoying the fact that Linux Mint has worked “out of the box” for the most part for me for a long time and my tinkering days are over.
As far as I could tell I didn’t see anything in either when I kept trying to figure out what was going on – nothing seemed to show up in the logs around the time the issue occurred. That was a time sink just waiting for an indeterminate amount of time for it to freeze in the UI
