No bios update, but you most likely received both microcode updates (which is what will fix/mitigate the Intel issue, the bios is only to ensure everybody gets the microcode update) and firmware updates (from linux-firmware)
Of course non-mainlined (i.e. not in the linux kernel) firmware is a bit more iffy, luckily it’s getting slowly better with OEMs using fwupd for those scenarios
Could it be an issue with the Nvidia drivers, boot with acpi=off and then install the (proprietary) nvidia drivers and then reboot to see if it boots normally now?
Breaking Linux every week or every other week? That’s almost impressive!
I’ve used: User Agent Switcher

Additionally, if you change your userAgent to be Chrome things are working pretty good in Firefox as far as I’ve tried it (not too extensively)

Seems like you can try and debug the execution by running switcherooctl launch *application*, which should (manually) do the same as when you right click and click Launch with dedicated GPU, because I think Mint is using switcheroo, same as Gnome is.
But would then hopefully log some debug information for you in the terminal itself
I’ve tried running steam with the dedicated GPU option
What exactly are you running to choose the dedicated vs integrated GPU?
I also get the freezing issue without running with the dedicated GPU when I launch steam but found that launching directly to the steam settings window from the menu reduces the chances of freezing.
Hmmm, whenever this happens, it might be worth looking at the kernel logs, see if something crashes. You can check them with either
journalctl -k -xef or dmesg
Kernel: 5.15.0-82-generic
In general it’s recommended to stay on newer kernels/mesa when using the open source GPU drivers, could be worthwhile trying to update that (think there’s a PPA you can pull from)
If I remember correctly the default sudo timeout is set to 5 minutes on Yay, you should be able to increase it to something more reasonable
