Brave keeps resetting theme to light.  
Tried resetting to default, other profiles and i’ve given up.  
Happened after updating to gnome 44.1 on manjaro.  
I’m switching to fedora in the near future but this is still very annoying.

@Waayway,  
Thank you for reaching out to us.  
This is a known issue that the team is addressing presently:

> <https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/30766>
>
> On Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon, after the latest stable update (Brave: 1.52.117 Chr…omium: 114.0.5735.90), when I reopen the browser if the dark theme is turned on, the white one is turned on even if the dark one is in the settings, it is fixed by turning on the white one and turning back the dark one
