Gnome settings

Automatically setup gnome settings without need of going through UI.

WARNING: gnome settings could highly differ between versions.

Extensions:

cd gnome

# Install extensions from apt sources (given under ./extensions-install.sh file)
./extensions-install.sh

Another useful tool for migrating between OS are dotfiles. I'm not going to share them as it contains my private configurations.
