gnome-terminal flickering in Regolith

Explain here

It's not a regolith-issue at all, but a known glitch between Compton and the nvidia-driver.

What is the compton (or picom) compositor actually used for in Regolith? I see no difference?

If you don't notice a difference then not having it is probably your best bet. It provides some shadowing for windows, transparency, and depending on the compositor and it's configuration, can address screen tearing issues if you have them.

Solution

Kill compton with pkill compton
(optional) starting compton with /usr/bin/compton --xrender-sync-fence option also fixes the problem

--xrender-sync-fence Use X Sync fence to sync clients' draw calls, to make sure all draw calls are finished before compton starts drawing. Needed on nvidia-drivers with GLX backend for some users.
