The main problem I have with modern desktop environments is the lack of scriptable automation... I really hope they build something like this.

Although I could just save all dotfiles, configs and extensions via file backup, I always struggle to create a script based setup.

I would love to maintain a list of extension names, settings etc and have something like:

  gnome-extension install --config-file my-extension-config.txt
  kde-plugin install --config my-plugin-config.txt

  gsettings set --config-file my-settings.txt

just a little more reliable... Maybe a hard problem, but I think this would be great.

Export settings would also be great.

  gsettings export --to my-settings.txt

:-)
