I just installed Ubuntu MATE on my HP ProOne 600 G2, and I'm experiencing screen tearing. The display looks normal again when using nomodeset . I saw the same problem with other distros such as Mint and Opensuse. Can anyone help me?

Hi, @Herry and welcome to the Ubuntu MATE Community!
Hi i don`t know so much to use terminal in linux or fixing bugs i only know the basics like:sudo apt install gdebi,neofetch and remouve so good luck and i am sorry i feel sad for you 
The ProOne 600 G2 uses i915 Gen 9.5 graphics, which is generally well-supported in Linux
Can you post, nicely formatted, the output of inxi -F

Find your intel config inside xorg, it might be: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
Edit and add the TearFree option, save, reboot, test.
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "TearFree" "true"
EndSection
