I am trying to set Monday as the first day of the week in GNOME calendar. It works in Evolution, as there is a designated setting, but obviously, GNOME calendar does only take data from Evolution but not the settings.
In the Ubuntu forums someone suggested to set LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8" to get weeks to start on Mondays.
Source: https://askubuntu.com/questions/6016/ho … dar-applet
Installed and generated (locale-gen) locales:
$ locale -a
C
C.UTF-8
de_DE.utf8
en_GB.utf8
en_US.utf8
POSIX
My locale.conf:
sudo less /etc/locale.conf
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8
/etc/locale.conf (END)
en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8 is uncommented in /etc/locale.gen and I ran locale-gen afterwards.
I've logged in and out but I seem to be missing something.
Also, the GNOME settings (GUI) are quite limited and do not allow for fine tuning. I am a bit stuck.

https://unix.stackexchange.com/question … -on-monday has some info you may find helpful.
$ locale first_weekday
will show a number that identifies which day of the week is used as first (1=sunday, 2 =monday etc) .
It appears to be defined in LC_TIME, but there doesn't seem to be a method to set that variable apart from creating a customized locale .
Note : I don't use gnome, no idea if it honors locale settings or overrides them.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
(A works at time B) && (time C > time B ) ≠ (A works at time C)

There is a GNOME extension for it (although not available for GNOME 45 yet):
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/ … day-again/
Hopefully a feature enabling user to change the setting in GNOME itself will be implemented soon:
