Hi, I would like to see if you have the same strange behavior

When I use my Linux device for 4-5 hours and I would saw my screen flickers. Would like to know if your laptop got the same behavior. The flickering looks very similar to this youtube video.

Yes, I have the same problem under GNOME. However, some KDE users claim that they are not experiencing the same issue. I have no idea.

Thanks for answering

I really need to check whether the behavior is expected or unexpected.

Just an update.

It seems to me that the screen flickering issue is gone after installing the KDE and then remove KDE completely. I am not sure what happened but I don't get screen flickering after since.

EDIT: Please ignore the above comment. I saw screen flicking.

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/2352 You can also see the link above. It may or may not help. I'm sorry but I don't currently have time to test these workarounds.

I have exactly the same issue, and it's starting to appear after some time as well. Sometimes I put my laptop to sleep (instead of poweroff), so I'm not sure whether it's connected, whether not, since I don't work straight for many hours.
