I’ve been having a big think over Linux distros. See, I’ve been looking back at my still-new Linux experience of nine months, and wondering how my own journey can help other people get started with FOSS operating systems. Whenever the topic of a Windows refugee-friendly OS came up, I would recommend Linux Mint because, first, it’s the one everyone says, and second, it was the Linux OS that I started with, fresh off Windows.

I always follow that up with a comment about how you don’t have to stick with Linux Mint if you don’t want to. You can do what I did, which is to dip your toe into the Linux distro water and find something that suits you better. But if I’m setting up Linux Mint as “my first Linux distro,” why not just skip the middleman and get right into the distros that have a bit more meat on them?

    It doesn’t sync to KDE’s calendar app, unfortunately, but it does sync to Gnome’s. It’s one of the pain points I had swapping to KDE.

        I’m not sure how you managed to get that to function, I’ve tried many times to get any calendar to work with the one in KDE and given up every time

          Well, it’s very easy.

          I assume you have already linked your Google account with your Plasma user through the “online accounts” setting.

          Then, you just go to the calendar app, or widget, and ✅ whatever Google Calendars you’d like to see from all the ones you have.
