+The `pc-gnome` role includes several tasks for installing GNOME software, managing GNOME extensions, and customizing the GNOME desktop experience:
+
+1. **Install Gnome Software**:

+
+2. **GNOME Activate Extensions**:
+   - Enables user extensions in GNOME using the `gsettings` command.
+
+3. **GNOME Set Favorite Apps**:
+   - Customizes the favorite applications on the GNOME shell using the `gsettings` command and the `{{favorite_apps}}` variable.
+
+4. **Pull CLI GNOME Extension Manager Script**:
+   - Clones or updates the CLI GNOME Extension Manager script from a Git repository.
+
+5. **Warn if Repo is Not Reachable**:
+   - Displays a warning message if the repository for the CLI GNOME Extension Manager script is not reachable.
+
+6. **Execute CLI GNOME Extension Manager Script**:
