I'm on Linux Mint 18.1 with Bitcoin Core version v0.14.1.0-g964a185 (64-bit).

I'm unable to check the "Network > Map port using UPnP" checkbox because it's grayed out. Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/dusmd

Don't know if its relevant, but I am able to in Litecoin Core.

Please help.

Is this the official version from bitcoin.org or a version compiled by yourself or someone else?

IIRC having the commit hash at the end of the version number like you do here means that the binary wasn't compiled via gitian (the official release process) but rather something else. Either this is self compiled, or done by a software repository. This means that if whoever compiled it did not include the miniupnp library, your install of Core will not be able to us upnp.

I've installed it via the following ppa, which I was under the impression was the 'standard' way to do so.

http://ppa.launchpad.net/bitcoin/bitcoin/ubuntu/

Is there a better, 'best practice', or official method aside from this?

The PPA is built without upnp support (and a few other things). Instead of installing from the PPA, you should download the tar package from bitcoin.org and move the files to the right places.
