And I still can't open the calendar by clicking on the clock on my second monitor.
Try KDE Plasma, you can put one clock on your second monitor that opens a calendar...or 10. Whatever you want, really.
That's great, but like, this was a native and very obvious feature in Windows 10 and every other Windows that I remember, and they somehow chopped it and never replaced it.
So was unlocking the taskbar and dragging it to the left side of the screen, now you literally can't. Apparently you can modify it via registry but half the buttons stop working because it isn't designed for that.
Crazy that that was what made me switch years ago....
Yeah, in general Windows 11 just assumes a lot of things "for" the user, and if you don't like it you're often out of luck or have to resort to third party tools to restore previous functionality.
It sounds like Mac OSX
.............now I want to open 10 different calanders at once. In different colors. But only use the pink one. I'll close the other 9, and grumble "GOD DAMN COMPUTER!!! WHY DON'T THEY FIX THIS SHIT???"
And again.....only use the pink one.
You're joking but you could totally have 10 digital (or analog) clocks - in different time zones if you want - that popup a calendar with events from one or multiple of 10 different calendars in different colors and you can also set the popups to stay pinned until manually closed if you want to. KDE's widget system is extremely versatile.
I have no idea why windows 11 axed that and it just makes the UX worse. It doesn't even make it simpler for noob users.
you can on gnome and cinnamon
