Linux/Manjaro compatibility

micc

Hi
I've got the X55 pc not long ago. I installed Manjaro on it, so far works fine, but has some issues, and I cannot find out what's wrong. There's a very annoying flashing line on the top of the screen. The top 3-5 pixel line used to become pink, or green, or wahtever colors, I just see it for a moment, so I can't analize exactly. This happens daily, in any random moment, like 10 times in 1 hour.
Do you have any tip, what could cause it? How can I make sure I have the correct driver for the chipset? Or it's just not compatible with linux?
Thanks

Hello.
I had the same problem with Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Linux Mint.
After the installation and with everything updated, all of them showed that annoying flashing line on top of my 32" monitor.
In a Windows 10 installation this does not happen.
Did find any solution or solved this problem with Linux?

Best regards.

What version of Mint are you using? 19 or 19.1?

I have 19, the pixels at the top of the screen do not slip constantly, but occasionally, both on the desktop and on the browser tabs
