I tried it with the network cable. I’ve been installing updates all along with the network cable because I can’t find the software to enable Wi-Fi in Manjaro and I don’t know the appropriate command for the terminal to search the repositories the Web.
Kernel 5.13 would not install in TTY2. I looked as if it had trouble finding the repositories there…
…But it had no trouble when I ran the same commands in the main OS. I used the terminal, of course…

My last 3 reboots displayed no flickering. It remains to be seen if Manjaro in this laptop stays stable.
