From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

None of these will help it, sadly. The flickering is an XWayland issue that’s still not fixed. Switching to native Wayland when possible would eliminate the flickering completely, however with games it’s not as easy.
In the case of minecraft specifically, you’ll require the newest version of lwjgl, which just got experimental Wayland support. Same for Windows games under Wine. 9.x had a native Wayland mode hidden in the settings
Can you tell me how you did it? I just found an old guide for lwjgl 2.x.
Realistically you should just need lwjgl-glfw version 3.3.3 or newer, and that should be it
The usual xwayland flicker alternates last two frames (unlike op's black flicker) and never occurred to me while playing a game, so op's problem is probably something else
I'm experiencing the exact same issue as the op, hence the comment. This is what helped me
