Recently switched over to Manjaro KDE from Windows. So far very little problems but I’m running into a strange flickering and screen tearing problem in firefox and other 3rd party applications. I’ve installed the latest prime hybrid drivers and updated kernel and all other applications. Is this a common problem with older GTX series NVIDIA cards on MSI laptops? How can I fix this problem?
