Last Budgie iso is too buggy

Hi,

I’m not expecting an answer as I already switched to XFCE… due to too many bugs with the Budgie image (the last one 23.0.1-230921).

Here is the two main issues I had:

  • a dark theme is not applied everywhere (in Nautilus for instance, maybe due to GTK4) or randomly in Software Center…
  • no way to play a video (from my Android phone) with Totem (with all necessary codecs installed)… More, VLC force close at start but it seems due to a libva missing dependency

Waiting for budgie v11, I switched to an XFCE de (no issue yet ;-))
