I'm using archlinux with plasma 5 & wayland. From time to time it just starts flickering for some reason...
If I need to change drivers just let me know. I don't game or do anything graphical on this laptop. Only software development on vscode and chatting.
Got the same issue here on Kubuntu with when activating transparent background in Konsole with an AMD GPU (flickering of background between transparent and solid).
It only started happening when I switched to Wayland. X11 does not share the issue.
I managed to fix it in Konsole somehow by switching to another apperance theme in the profiles configuration (you might see there that, for some reason, Breeze is duplicated, which I suspect is what responsible for the flickering).
In my case I was using X11 when I posted this. I get flickering on both X11 and wayland and that's a bit ugh sometimes 🙃🙃
recommend posting to https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/ which is home to the issue tracker for AMD graphics on Linux.
There's plenty in there going back to 6 months+ sadly I don't think I can bring as much details as everyone's elses posted issues. It's a waiting game from here on :(
