What's stopping you from using the default calendar app of your operating system? It does all the things you mention, be it MacOS, Linux (Gnome, GTK etc) or Windows. What do you need that the default thing can't do?

Good point, though I don't remember Linux Mint's XFCE calendar being able to set up events. I'll make sure when I get back home
XFCE? so something really lightweight like Orage probably. Which is in fact part of XFCE...
Oh damn, I didn't even realise how capable Orage was. Thanks a lot!
Proton calendar
I strongly believe that a calendar that isn't synced anywhere else isn't useful.
So proton calendar seems like the best solution to me. I use Google calendar because I don't care enough to pay.
As well the point of proton calendar is your calendar is basically a record of your life, it should be yours not some corporate data creeps to pull out every time theirs a new way to extract value through manipulating you into buying things and selling that info so they can get better at doing that. Also the outright giving access to governments for no reason other than kickbacks for cooperating. Why does the government need to know my cat has a vet appointment on Tuesday? They don’t? It’s just so they can catch the guy who’s got a crime appointment on Tuesday? Why do I lose my and my cats privacy in the process? It’s horse shit
My favourite calendar is the UBPorts offering, but I don't think it's available as a standalone app.
The GNOME calendar is okay though : https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Calendar
Seems solid, I'll check it out, thanks!
I just use Google calendar. It's on my phone and work computer, everywhere I need.
