Is there a way to install a 6.16 or 6.17 kernel on proxmox?

Hi have installed Proxmox on my new MiniPC and have noticed a couple of issues.

First, my USB ports (keyboard, mouse) do not seem to be stable and have a couple of drop-outs (this can already happen during proxmox installation).

I first ignored this because of the headless nature of proxmox. However since I did not manage to get igpu passthrough working (AMD reset bug?) I decided to also install KDE Plasma as desktop environment on top of proxmox. In Plasma I have disabled all power saving option (e.g. suspend, turn off screen,...).

Problem 1 - USB:
Now since I currently only have 1 keyboard and 1 mouse I have to move them back and forth between the proxmox MiniPC and my Desktop. Doing so I noticed twice now, that at a certain point the proxmox MiniPC can not properly initialize my mouse and keyboard. At this point I need to reboot to fix it.

Problem 2 - GPU:
I also noticed, that if I move the mouse fast in Plasma that I get graphical artifacts. I saw the same behavior while testing igpu passthrough but I ignored it at this time).

I first thought that both must be a HW issue but I have the exact same behavior on both my AI X1 PRO.

Booting the daily Ubuntu live image (questing-desktop-amd64.iso) resolves both issues.

Therefore I believe that firmware/drivers/kernel are not new enough and don't fully support my HW. How can I solve this in proxmox?
Is there a way to install a newer kernel e.g. 6.17 and/or newer firmware? If so, how?

Any help is appreciated! Thank you very much!
