How to Turn “Week Numbers” on or off for Calendar in Ubuntu Linux
Week numbers in Ubuntu Linux add small digits next to each date row in your calendar view to help you track project timelines and schedule events. This feature stays turned off by default in GNOME Calendar, but you can turn it on with a quick setting switch.
Turning on week numbers shows the exact week of the year (from 1 to 52) straight inside your monthly calendar view. Turning them off hides the digits again if you want a clean display.
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.
