So, in brief what happens is that my cursor flickers when there’s any load on the GPU
(happens on games, and specially when recording with OBS or things like that)
and windows can sometimes flicker black in some parts (happens in the same scenarios)
this all seems to be client-side since this flickering is not reflected in VNCs or in screen recordings
this affects even cursors on things like remote desktops or remote VNCs
this ONLY happens if my external monitor is active, if I use only my laptop’s integrated display these problems do not exist
my xrandr -q looks like this

Not enough info. What about DE/DM and others? Post inxi -Faz
The internal monitor seems not active. How do you disable it? Do you only use external during this issue?
Archwiki has several Troubleshooting advice like this and others. You should try some that look relevant to see any difference.
my Desktop Enviroment is KDE Plasma 5 v5.24.0
pretty much vanilla using kwin
Already checked the archwiki in the intel graphics sections (the same one you sent) didn’t work, I’m not exactly a newbie but I don’t know where to post this either
I disable the internal monitor using the settings in KDE
Activada = Active
Primaria = Primary
Already tried to change it to 60hz forced, didn’t work, couldn’t make it 1366x768 either since xrandr only liked to report 1368x768
