The restore process takes forever and sometimes fails. Last time I was forced to try every daily backup to several days before last backup to find one that could actually be restored. I have switched to borg (using Pika Backup for desktop and Borgmatic for servers). No restores have failed since.

You should check out https://solidproject.org/ and see how much overlap you have?

Borgmatic also made setting up Borg a breeze.

It looks like you have associated .desktop files with the LibreOffice Writer application. So when you click on the “launcher” icon for Praat that application tries to open the “launcher” file as a text document.

This answer should help you reset that association, https://superuser.com/questions/21626/ubuntu-change-the-default-program-used-to-open-a-type-of-file/21642#21642
