Ubuntu, the popular open-source operating system based on the Debian Linux distribution, will not display weekday on the top bar by default. In our last post, we wrote a detailed guide to add “Week Day” to the top bar.
The previous post wasn’t the easiest or the best method, especially for new users.
As of Ubuntu 23.10, there’s a button in the settings panels that one can toggle to show or hide “Week Day” on the top bar.
Displaying or hiding a weekday on the top bar in Ubuntu can be a matter of personal preference or practicality. Some users find it helpful to have the current day of the week easily visible on their screen, while others may not find it necessary.
Additionally, some users may prefer a cleaner interface and hide the week day to reduce clutter on the top bar.

As mentioned above, users can easily display “Week Day” on the top bar in Ubuntu Linux with a single click.
Here’s how to do it.
First, click the system menu on the top right corner and select the Settings (gear) button.
In the Settings panel, the Date & Time button on the left menu.
Next, select the Week Day tile on the Date & Time settings panel. Then, toggle the switch button to the On position to display the Seconds on the clock and calendar.
