From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What does this mean? It wasn’t real time before?

On MacOS there was only the option to show all notifications with the same settings. This lead to me either missing appointments because their notifications didn't stay, or getting drowned by email notifications which is very annoying.

What I want is to have appointments show up as notifications that stay, while emails show up as notifications that go away after a few seconds. Here's hope that this is now possible keeps both thumbs pressed
