In regards to the release notes, just so I am not giving out misinformation here… Desktopify for the Raspi4 does not “technically” work yet on 20.10 but that’s only due to the fact it has a check in the script:
if [ "${CODENAME}" != "focal" ]; then
But change that to groovy, and it seems to go without any issue that I have found so far. I’m guessing it will be updated soon enough when 20.10 is out, but I didn’t want to mislead anyone.
Good spot!
Could you raise this (and/or do a PR) on the github project please?

Re: this flickering bug, I notice your comments about it. I do not experience this in 20.04.1, should I expect it to show up? Not a big concern, because I have found that on 20.10 I can fix this behavior (maybe “hide” is a better term) by creating 20-intel.conf with:
Option "TearFree" "true"
I would have to assume it would work in 20.04 as well.

It does look like various Intel graphics behave slightly differently. So in my case this very low end laptop is particularly affected on 20.04 but I see you have much newer graphics and isn’t affected.
I would definitely add the tear free observation. Sounds key to what the issue is.
I can also confirm that the tear free option works on this laptop. So excellent find

If by “excellent find” you mean “accidental find”, yep, sure was. I get tearing on full screen video in Firefox, was trying to fix that. Forgot I hadn’t done the layers.acceleration.force-enabled within Firefox that solved the problem on 20.04 and 19.10. So I guess in trying to solve a problem I didn’t really have, I fixed one I was having.

Desktop total lockup when watching a movie and switching from windowed mode to full screen mode and back again. Tried in Totem and Vlc and all do the same thing here. Running Nvidia drivers.
Have to do a hard reset to as can’t drop in to a shell to restart or ctrl alt delete either.
Suggest try the default opensource nouveau drivers - if they work ok then it points to nvidia themselves. Not alot we can do about proprietary drivers.
Hi there tried the Noveau drivers and no difference. I had a spare ssd so I put it in my pc and installed ubuntu main on it and no problem there with celluloid, totem or vlc on noveau or nvidia.
I don’t know if its a problem with the new gnome 3.38 gnome stack or the new mutter with budgie as Solus is still running the 3.36 stack. I’ll go through my logs and see what I can find.
Yep. Does then sound like a mutter issue I.e. the window manager that budgie uses.
I tried here on a rather low end intel graphics based laptop. Celluloid going full screen and back again works ok with a youtube link.
So I maybe specific to your graphics card itself.
