Briefly, backports is a method of bringing newer stuff into stable, for 
people who really, really need newer. They are handled by a team who try 
to ensure that stuff in testing is working well enough that the rest of 
us should be able to use it with fewer problems than simply running 
testing.

I thought you were getting a terminal?   You said that you have another 
PC. So

Find a tutorial on adding backports to your sources.list, then how to 
use backports. I have an alias that installs backports:

sudo apt-get -y install --install-recommends -t bullseye-backports 
package

The tutorial should explain how to add a line to your sources.list,
# apt update,
apt search linux-image

check for signed images   (linux-image-5.14.0-0.bpo.2-amd64/now 
5.14.9-2~bpo11+1 amd64 [installed,local]   Linux 5.14 for 64-bit PCs 
(signed)

# apt-get -y install --install-recommends -t bullseye-backports 
(maybe???) linux-image-5.14.0-0.bpo.2-amd64    from my list of available 
images
