Currently, the repository structure is quite messy, with a mixture of Bash scripts, Markdown and other plain text files at the root of the repository.

There's a lot of code duplication, since we have a set of scripts for Linux Mint (linuxmint-*.sh), a set for Fedora (fedora-*.sh) and one for Debian (debian-*.sh).

There's a reason for that: when I started this repository, I knew very little about Bash scripting, and about Linux in general. I just pasted in the commands which I usually had to type at the command line one by one.

Things to do to reduce code duplication and improve repository structure:

Move Bash scripts into a src subdirectory, and documentation files (in Markdown) into a docs subdirectory;
Refactor code: define functions in a common.sh file (a sort of header file), and source common.sh in the distro-specific scripts;
Translate source comments and documentation files in English;
