This is still a problem on my laptop, an Asus F201E running sid and updated regularly.
Changing the session from "Gnome Wayland" to "Gnome" as I mentioned in my previous comment was not a permanent fix: the problem re-appeared after reboot. Best workaround I've found so far: * boot debian (screen flickers on GDM login screen) * login into gnome shell (screen continues to flicker) * press the "lock screen" icon (screen continues to flicker on the GDM screen) * wait about 1 second and the screen goes black * move the pointer: the screen comes back and it's not flickering anymore I have not done additional research on the root cause but I'm happy to provide additional information if useful.
