@vanvugt No flickering for me on an XPS 13 9360 apart from the
brightness getting adjusted at the same time the spinner starts. When
the brightness is set to maximum before rebooting I don't notice
anything apart from the spinner appearing. In a perfect world the
brightness would be adjusted gradually or when gdm appears.

Is it on purpose that no ubuntu logo is shown anywhere?

Title:
  i915: Display flickers (monitor loses signal briefly) during
  "flickerfree" boot, while showing the BIOS logo on a black background

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I am trying flickerfree boot in 19.10 [1], but find it actually
  flickers part way through:

    1. BIOS logo on a black background.
    2. Display mode resets, no image on a black background briefly.
    3. BIOS logo on a black background.

  The flicker occurs seemingly during kernel startup since my
  peripherals are lit up before the problem occurs.

  Suspecting this might be related to FB handover:

    [    2.751028] fb0: switching to inteldrmfb from EFI VGA

  I tried disabling that with a big hammer:

    i915.modeset=0

  so it stays in efifb, and that works -- no more flickering, providing
  I don't let i915 take over the framebuffer.
