Two bug-related items (Zorin OS 17 Pro)

It seems like the version of Cheese included in the Zorin OS 17 Pro ISO is buggy. It starts up OK and although I had to adjust the video resolution for my camera to be able to take screenshots and video, it turns out that I kept getting an error and couldn't take pictures or videos. I went on the software store, and downloaded the Cheese flatpak version. That one worked 100% and I was able to use my camera with Zorin OS 17 Pro that way. I uninstalled the APT version that came installed by default with Zorin, and stuck with the Flatpak version, which I am using now. Works great. Zorin may want to investigate further, or just simply replace the APT version with the Flatpak version on its ISO for Zorin OS 17 Pro.

I confirm that I have something similar. With the default installed version of Cheese on Zorin OS 17 Core:

• When you open the app, there is a strange "loop" of the first 1 second of whatever Cheese "sees" via your camera. Dropping the camera resolution to 640*480 works around the problem...but you are in a lower resolution, which is not ideal.

• I didn't try taking a picture or video clip to see if it worked.

• I removed Cheese via Software, then re-installed the Flatpack version (also via Software).

Cheese works like a champ now, and at full resolution.
