[Gnome Calendar Flatpak + Evolution seems to do this fine] /usr/libexec/evolution-data-server/evolution-alarm-notify seemed to be notifying me of tasks. Thank you for all the help.

Some relevant command which might have helped me get the alarm notification thing working

I need Calendar but EVERY app I have tried so far doesn’t support background notifications or don’t run on my system. I want one good app, flatpak or not which can

  1. Notify me of tasks, to do lists etc
  2. Give me notifications for the mails I receive.

I don’t know why, even evolution won’t do this for me.

Thank you for your help! I installed flatpak Gnome Calendar after using 1 GB of internet bandwidth but no luck

    I didn’t know about birdtray. I don’t know how but Gnome Calendar (Flatpak) + Evolution seems to be giving me background notifications for now. I looked at Birdtray it was 700mbs or something, I don’t see the point of Flatpaks being that huge. I mean, I need to buy a new laptop if I need to run all flatpak. Anyways, thank you!

      That’s not the case. Flatpak shows to be big because it includes the runtimes. But runtimes are shared between applications, so the size diff is not that much as it says.

      Birdtray itself is about 1MB, but additionally pulls in dedicated Flatpak dependencies that it needs. If you use many Flatpaks, they share their dependencies just like a normal packaging system and become more efficient that way.
