Does the flickering occur while using Chrome or Chromium?

any distro would be ok as long as you dont use display converter, like HDMI To VGA or so... using a resolution more than ur supported display causes flickering

My laptop is 8 years old, and I use debian+mate, it's just fine. I think desktop environment is more import, just try light weight desktop environment like lxde, xfce, mate, or tilling manager. If you muse use heavy application, change a larger memory card.
