Well, this is awkward. I tried installing drm-tip with defaultconf. But it's
been a long time since I've compiled a kernel. Anyway, I failed, bricked my
root partition, and ended up having to reinstall. A fresh install of Antergos
with kernel 4.16.13-2-ARCH is working fine without any flicker.



Sigh

Unneccessary embarrassing info:
(What I'd done was, I had a way too small /boot partition, 64mb. When I was
trying to boot into the drm-tip I forgot that I'd need a driver module to
access my ssd. So I didn't have a initramfs and no way to fit it, also I wasn't
sure if using the other initramfs would work as I didn't know where the actual
i915 driver was. Frustrated, I decided to resize my root so I could fit a
bigger boot. Misjudged some calculations and ended up with a filesystem that
thought it was slightly bigger than its partition, I couldn't get out of a
fsck/resize2fs catch 22, so I just said f-it and reinstalled, since I have all
my data on a separate /home partition.)
