I use TimeShift for system backups (and LuckyBackup for user files). It works well and I'm happy with it. The only slight niggle is that the options available for Scheduled Snapshots (daily, weekly etc.) all apply at 12:00 midnight. Probably like many other people, I switch the PC off overnight, so these options are no good to me.It's easy to get round it by switching off Scheduled Snapshots in settings and setting up a cron job for a more convenient time using the command 'timeshift --backup-now', but it is a complication that may put off new users.
re. backups, check this out - http://www.unixmen.com/timeshift-restore-linux-desktops-previous-state/Looks like a great all around solution.

What do we do with the existing tools? Cheers I think from somebody trying to help a new user I think it is less key strokes, and easier instructions on how to get basic information back to the forum.. That was my thoughts/idea behind the suggestionDave

Do you mean Font Manager? I can't see a way to install fonts in gnome-font-viewer.
For now I can suggest package gnome-font-viewer for viewing and easy font installing.It's installing fonts in ~/.local/share/fonts
