Screen start to flickering after update

After the last update my screen starts flickering, should I downgrade the driver?

mhwd -l -d --pci

Any suggestions?

Edit:
Something odd happens, if I raise the brightness to 100% the flickering stops

You cannot - i915 is provided with the kernel.

Perhaps using LTS kernel will provide a more stable driver.

Sorry, I’m not an experienced user.
I am using this kernel.

$ mhwd-kernel -li                                                                                                                                       
Currently running: 6.5.13-7-MANJARO (linux65)
The following kernels are installed in your system:
   * linux65

Which one should I use?

The kernel you are using has not been in Manjaro repos for many months.

sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux66 rmc

remember to

reboot

There is also a simple GUI to see all Kernels and you can add/remove one easily:
Taskbar>Settings>Manjaro Settings Manager>Kernel
