Bar none, Orage is absolutely the best calendar app around. It’s on-screen real estate is small so it can stay open and convenient throughout the whole session. Plus, it has most of the capabilities of the “big boys”. I have it auto-start at startup. Couldn’t be without it.
The best for you maybe. It’s important to remember that ‘best’ is personal to the individual. Orage doesn’t have everything I need, so it isn’t the ‘best’ for me.
I use Orage too. It’s a great calendar app albeit a bit basic.
Agreed
Can I install this on the desktop instead. I hate the Orage Calander. Or is there something I can install on desktop MxLinux XFCE
Hi Jon, not sure what you mean. You hate Orage but you want to install it?
