Recomendations for Calender app (feddit.uk)

Hi all.

Currently using microsoft products on a work laptop however I'm looking for an open source alternative for a calendar app.

At a min. I would want to it work on android and/or BOTH windows 11 and Linux Mint (so it would cover usage for both partner and myself). I'm a 'plug and play' sort of person when it comes to Linux so nothing too complicated.

If it can sync between devices that would be great but not a deal breaker in any way.

All other functionality is fine to be bare bones, I don't need it to do reminders or send email, just a basic calendar

Any suggestions and thanks all.

*edit. Spelling.

It really depends on where the calendar itself is hosted and what is responsible for syncing it. There's a bunch of different standards and protocols for syncing calendars and you have to filter apps by what they support.

But if its syncing to Ms365 and you need it to run on windows then Thunderbird is probably your only option. Otherwise there's stuff like KOrganizer or GNOME Calendar.
