Hello everyone,
I want to customize a little more my budgie desktop with new GTK themes. But I can't past nothing in the /usr/share/themes
folder because I do not have privileges.
How could I past some themes in that folder ?
Thank you.

Sudo mv file path
Yes, cmd line is your friend. Become better accquainted.
You shouldn't use /usr/share/themes
for manually installed themes, typically this folder is used for themes that are installed by package manager. For themes installed from third-party sources ~/.themes
folder is more preferable and it doesn't need privilege escalation.
Or you can just paste your themes in the system-wide folder using privilege escalation (as Girt wrote above).
aleksvor Yes, a friend told me about the risks.
I made sudo nautilus /usr/share/themes
and I never should do this. So, I deleted immediately the themes I pasted. I hope I did not make something wrong to my computer.
So, I went to /home/alan
and I clicked on Ctrl + H. I saw .local
folder. Then, I went to share
folder and I created themes
folder. I pasted my theme. And voilà . It worked.
You can also install "nautilus-admin" and after that you can open files as admin in file manager. You will need to reboot or log off. But better don't mess with system files. Usually people regret it.
Dear god, a gui file manager running as root is simply terrifying.
