This happens with a clean 20.10 install and I installed updates + rebooted before trying.
I rolled back (btrfs snapshot) to the moment after 2nd reboot (installed budgie > reboot > enabled additional software sources > updated > reboot). Now I can access Software Sources again. I also managed to add Backports and costales/folder-color ppa, installed calender applet.
The output now (before adding those 2 PPAs) is:

But I also notice on a second laptop (both HP Probook 430 G6, Intel 8th gen), right after my 2nd reboot I get the “System problem detected, do you want to report it now”?
When I click report, nothing happens. /var/crash shows this:
I cannot make much of it. I do notice during boot, an error about /swapfile:
Activating swap /swapfile...
Failed to activate swap
The only deviation from a default Budgie install: during setup I selected the main partition on the SSD (there were 2, one is for efi system and the other was ext4) formatted it as BTRFS with mountpoint /.
OK, final question:
is folder-color no longer supported? It is the only one left causing issues. I added its PPA + apt update.
$ sudo apt -y install folder-color-nemo
