I had to select a package. Since I have read that problems regarding the
kernel should be listed as "linux" (and I think this is the case), that
is why I selected that package.

** Package changed: ubuntu => linux (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Laptop screen flickering on kernels above 5.4 (not included)

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Recently, I installed Ubuntu 21.04 on my laptop and I was having the
  same problem I had like with others distros such as Fedora; for some
  reason, the screen just ramdonly and briefly turns off, (more like a
  flickering) and it also "autoregulates" a the brightness, just a
  little bit down and then a little bit up.

  I noticed I don't have this problem on Linux Mint, and I also noticed
  that going back to Kernel 5.8 on either Ubuntu 21.04 or 20.04.2 this
  problem stops. I have been using Mainline (
  https://github.com/bkw777/mainline ) to install previous kernels (5.8
  and 5.4 wok just fine, but anything above this problem comes again).

  Thanks so much beforehand.
