Yup bought a MBP in my ignorant youth of 2008. It was beautiful sturdy HW at the time when most windows laptops were creaky plastic turds. After using Ubuntu for a few years Mac OS to me was like a nicer looking easier to use linux. However every 10-20 minutes the screen would flicker just once but it happened all consistently. Multiple report in forums about it and many cases opened but apple did nothing about it. Wouldn’t even acknowledge it was a problem. Finally 5+ years later when most people were moving on they made a bios patch that acknowledged the issue and fixed it.
