I always have a system monitor of uPro/ram/network-speed in the tray or somewhere on the taskbar (panel) but on kde plasma 5.6.5 they all cause the panel to flicker. I have already tinkered with the video settings to stop general tearing etc and found full screen repaints, openGL 3.1 works for me so i dont really think i can change much without getting tearing back again.

I would like a system monitor though (not conky) , thx.
