The answer was found in the case:“Solution” to Intel Graphics Screen Tearing/Flickering Causes Excessive Fan Use in Ubuntu 16.10/17.04/17.10

The correct solution would be to create the following folder and file:

sudo mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel-graphics.conf

you can use any text editor you prefer

copy then paste the following content:

Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" Option "TripleBuffer" "true" Option "TearFree" "true" Option "DRI" "true"
EndSection

remember to save the file

Do not create these files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d. That is the location for example configuration files for X, not the ones that are actually loaded.
