gnome-shell-extensions-sync VS scripts

As a (primarily Ubuntu, secondarily Fedora) Gnome user I am however a bit annoyed. There are loads of things that are just different by default and that I need to look up etc. I am using the awesome Gnome Shell Extension Sync for my other computers to sync the settings. Which works fine using nixOS unless I want to run Home Manager again... Then home manager won't change some Gnome settings unless I delete the synced config which is a problem because some settings aren't saved in there and I do have to specify them via Home Manager. Do any of you know a way to easily convert exported dconf settings to a nix configuration? Or is there a way to use the extension sync and home-manager without each undoing the changes of the other?

Also, if you use dmenu (or rofi), it's easy to create little scripts to adjust the volume, change the brightness, and so on. Here's an example of mine: volmenu.

I wrote an rsync script called bkup-home that backs up my home directory (excluding files from an exclude list) to a mounted external drive. Pretty simple. Been using it for many years, and don't need anything fancier.
