I’m not sure if it’s the right section to post, but still.
I have an issue with the screen since kernel 5.6.x.
Sometimes it blinks, it looks like a rapid switching off and on every 2-4 seconds.
When it happens, I just do something that could turn the screen off (screen locking, switching refresh rate, etc.) But it could take up to 3 iterations, moreover, it’s obviously just a weird workaround.
Also, on 5.8 kernel it could not restore previous backlight brightness state. It is still saved in GNOME, but without touching brightness setting it stays on some default value from UEFI or something in the way. It doesn’t happen on 5.7, though.
And, of course, my inxi -Fxxxz:
