"Jerem3782 - This may be an issue with the compositor compton. (I noticed flickering with other software like Chrome and Steam on Xubuntu as well.)
Try disabling it before starting Kodi and reenabling it afterwards: pkill compton and compton -b."
this solved the problem in kodi as well as improving overall screen redraw performance.
it is necessary to switch back when moving between kodi and chrome, but i can live with it. better than the flickering.
there's a good reason that the Kodi devs recommend running Kodi under Linux with a separate session that doesn't load the window manager/compositor etc and just loads Kodi directly

Purple lines flash across the screen
Green-tinged frames JUMP in and out
Sometimes it just goes black for a second or two.
All in all it's making it pretty unusable
Has anyone had similar problems? I can post a debug log later when I get home.
I have a feeling it's a hardware issue as it has worked fine for a year or more
to quote fritsch: "no debug log, no issue." The OP lists what info is needed to try and diagnose problems, and you've provided none of it unfortunately.

the best place to get support for Milhouse's Kodi 17 pre-beta builds is in the thread dedicated to them, in the Linux software support subforum; this thread is only for setup/installation issues related to the EZ Setup Script.
