Screen flickering after upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04

za flag

I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04 LTS on my laptop (Lenovo Ideapad FLEX 6-14IKB). After a while the screen would start flickering (similar to the video in this post here). I notice that sometimes it would flicker a lot an then stop for a while - it would usually happen more often when I'm actively browsing Chrome/Firefox. The issue does not exist on an external monitor that I connect to the laptop (flicker only happens on laptop built in screen). The issue also did not happen in 18.04.

I've tried to adjust the refresh rate of the screen to less than 60hz and also tried other solutions from similar posts such as switching to Ubuntu Wayland, modifying Grub settings by adding "i915.enable_psr=0", and creating xorg config. However the issue still persists.

System info:

Kernel version: 5.4.0-80-generic

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
