How to Turn “Week Numbers” On or Off for Calendar in Ubuntu Linux
You can easily turn “Week Numbers” on or off for the Calendar in Ubuntu Linux to see the current week of the year.
Week numbers provide a clear way to identify which week of the year a specific date falls into, a feature not enabled by default in Ubuntu’s Calendar application.
For instance, by default, your Ubuntu Calendar might display the date “2024-07-29” without indicating it’s the 31st week of the year.
You can activate this setting within Ubuntu’s Calendar preferences, and just as easily disable it if you prefer a less cluttered view.
Click the System Menu, then Settings. Navigate to Date & Time in the sidebar. Toggle the “Week Numbers” switch to On to display them or Off to hide them.
