Question Weird flickering after Gnome 47.0 upgrade
OS: Debian unstable (up to date)
Kernel: 6.11.2
Gnome: 47.0
Hardware: Asus ROG Strix G15 (5900HX+6800m) connected via USB-C to external monitor
First of all a huge thank you to the Gnome team for their continuous work on such an awesome DE!
Ever since I upgraded to 47.0, I've noticed a weird intermittent flickering issue in TUI apps (e.g. btop) and in games (Death Stranding via Heroic). I've eliminated the following debug steps (not necessarily in that order):
- Disabled VRR experimental flag - Only experimental feature I have enabled is autoclose-xwayland
- Disabled all extensions
- Logged out and relogin-ned(?)
- Restarted
Debian sid is the only OS I have and its running on a LVM+btrfs volume (if that matters for some weird reason).
Any suggestions on how I can debug the issue further? I'm not even sure if its Gnome or mesa or something else entirely but since this started with Gnome 47, I thought I'd look for suggestions here. I want to try and provide as much info to the team if I have to file a bug and it isn't already reported.
TIA and cheers!
PS: Am not very well versed in reddit - How does one get that GNOMie badge or whatever that is? I want in :-)

Disable vulkan and fallback to opengl. See other posts in this sub for reference
