Now, execute the following command, as one command in your terminal (no matter if appears here as 3 lines). Copy-paste from here to your terminal.

echo -e 'Section "Device"\n    Identifier  "Intel Graphics"\n    Driver      "intel"\n    Option      "AccelMethod"  "sna"\n    Option      "TearFree"    "true"\nEndSection' | sudo tee /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

It should ask for you password and after you write it (correctly), it should return this result

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
    Driver      "intel"
    Option      "AccelMethod"  "sna"
    Option      "TearFree"    "true"
EndSection
