Icon theme reverts to Yaru after opening Appearance settings

A coworker suggested something like

sudo mkdir -p /etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks
sudo bash -c 'echo "/org/gnome/desktop/interface/icon-theme" > /etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/icons'
sudo bash -c "sudo cat > /etc/dconf/db/local.d/icons" << EOF
[org/gnome/desktop/interface]
icon-theme='Numix-Circle'
EOF
sudo bash -c "sudo cat > /etc/dconf/profile/user" << EOF
user-db:user
system-db:local
EOF
sudo dconf update

Or even adding

fix_theme() {
    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme "Numix-Circle"
}

to my ~/.bashrc or similar

This isn't a problem on my home fedora system
