Hi,
first to say: I've been testing Ubuntu-Budgie. There is no option to run on 
Wayland. So I downloaded (2021-02-02) and installed Ubuntu 21.04 Desktop to 
perform the test and found some surprising results:
1. fresh installation, running on Xorg: the flickering is clearly visible. In 
fact, the cursor flickers, if anywhere on the screen some redrawing happens. 
To reproduce: open Term. A slight flickering is visible whenever the console 
cursor is disappearing and reappearing. This is also the case outside the Term 
window. Increase the effect by launching Firefox and browse to cnn.com. While 
opening the page, a lot of redrawing is happening (the little bullet in the 
tab, some line in the bottom about loading, and the many items on the page. 
During the pay load, cursor is flickering anywhere on the screen.
2. logout and login, this time on Wayland: No such effect.
3. logout and login, again on Xorg, again no such effect!

Btw.: I cancelled to install updates to keep a stable environment, so
just the version as indicated above.

If you have any idea, how logging in on Wayland cured this effect
(reinstalled two times to be sure), I might be able to check on Ubuntu-
Budgie (where I can't simply select Wayland).
