dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/sources

has the same output as

dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/mru-sources

which is

[('xkb', 'ch+de_nodeadkeys'), ('xkb', 'us')]

What is the difference?
Should I always modify both? If not, when/why not?

In your dconf lines..

Input Sources are your priority.. say you have 4 languages 1 2 3 4... if you add 5th language its position will be at 5th. That means your input sources will be 1 2 3 4 5. In future if you delete 3rd language.. your input sources will become 1 2 3 4 where 4 & 5 takes 3 & 4 positions.

MRU is Most Recently Used.. it varies based on your usage.. means input sources are always in that order 1 2 3 4 and MRU varies based on which language you chose most recently..

you may go through post for further understanding..How to prevent gnome to change the language input order when switching languages?
