Krita Brush flickering/ tearing

Hi there ! I’m quite new to linux and Tumbleweed is really incredible !

AMD Ryzen 5 4600G with radeon vega 7
32 Gb memory
Asrok A520-HDV
Opensuse tumbleweed 20241017
kernel 6.11.3-1
Plasma 6.2.1
krita 5.2.6
wacom Intuos4 M

I want to share with you an issue I have and i’m starting to feel hopeless right now.
I’m on krita 5.2.6, and whenever I paint a stroke, the input looks very flickery, like the canvas redraw has some issues, but I can’t find the source of the issue.

Seems I can’t share an embedded youtube video so here’s the link of what it’s looking like ( slowed down ) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jiwJTPmJhc

The issue happens on both x11 and wayland, and I even tested it on my laptop with linux mint 21.3 with the appimage and it was still flickering.
I even tested another tablet ( intuos4 M is the main one and intuos pen and touch is the emergency one ) .
I suspect the wacom drivers but since it was working fine with mypaint, I’m really not sure about that !

here’s the inxi -Gaz :

Sorry I can’t help you with this but just to let you know that krita brush here works fine.
I am using nvidia RTX here. I’m on tumbleweed also.
