Ok here is a question someone recently asked me: “How to show the day of the week next to the date on my Desktop”. Try to answer that for “Linux” and help that person on the phone.
Of course the question about the clock is meant to be in regards to desktop environments, not “Linux”. I don’t think anyone here would suggest otherwise.
You know that, and I know that, but explain that to the person that asked that question.
Once I figured out it was Ubuntu with gnome I had to tell them to open the freaking terminal and spell them some commands over the phone. Not an environment I’d call “ready” for regular people.
The entire post in general is a bit weird, because it calls “Linux” “ready” as if Linux was something an end-user could install and use.

You really ask to get the Stallman quote here.
Which one?
“What you are referring to as Linux…”

That’s not a linux question. That’s related to whatever desktop environment is running and what clock or calendar widget it can display.

Right click widget, select options, click on show date, or day or whatever, click apply, done.
I don’t know what bizarre stuff Gnome runs but it obviously hasn’t gotten better.
