I'm experiencing a problem extremely similar to
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/272
My screen flickers too on a fresh install of Kubuntu 20.04LTS

I've tried 915.enable_psr=0 as a boot parameter, didn't work.
nomodeset does get me into a bootable image, but I'm looking into getting a
working driver.
Fedora 31 was having a similar issue, there was barely any flickering up untill
some recent kernel updates. (about a couple small ones every 10 minutes or so)
Kubuntu 19.10 was quite stable too, untill I installed a lenovo provided
firmware update (from AUCN45WW to AUCN54WW), which made it slightly worse.
I also tried a couple of other kernel parameters that haven't had any effect.
Running kernel 5.6 on Kubuntu did have thesame issue as regular kubuntu 20.04.
Running kernel 5.7-rc2 did fix the problem, but networking and sound was dead,
so it's only half a solution.
I highly suspect it's an issue with i915, but I don't know how I would trace it
down.
I don't know why and I don't know how.
