My laptop is an IdeaPad 5 Pro 16ACH6 with the following specs
https://psref.lenovo.com/Product/IdeaPad/IdeaPad_5_Pro_16ACH6

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5600H
Graphics: AMD Radeon Graphics (integrated graphics)
Memory: 8GB soldered memory (DDR4-3200)
Display: 16" 2.5K (2560x1600) IPS 60Hz

I doubt it was a heat issue though. If I had to guess AMD's drivers probably
are buggy and KDE Plasma did something that triggered the bug. I have
encountered driver bugs with AMD in the past such as this one
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1463267 which AMD said
that they will have fixed in their January driver update (this month). 

After letting my laptop sit overnight the vertical and horizontal lines are
gone, however the display is still flickery. However it is less flickery than
it was yesterday. Its doing a pattern of flickering in quick succession for 1
second, stops flickering for half a second, and then flickering in quick
succession for a second again. So I'm hoping this means it will continue to go
more back to normal over time. I've been using this laptop for 2 years and have
never had this problem before. I would try installing Kubuntu again to see if
this is a replicable behavior, but I since the lines are gone and flickering
lessened my laptop is kinda usable again and I don't want to risk breaking it
more.
