I have Ubuntu 20.04 LTS in VMware V16 on a supported host and there is no flicker at all.

(1) Try a trial version of VMware V16 to see if that helps.

(2) Update the Video drivers in your host machine.

(3) Update your host to a Supported Operating System, use VMware V16.2.3 and that should solve your issues.

All works well, Windows 10 or Windows 11.
