Here is a screenshot from Windows 10 using tiles in Windows menu (sorry if I just made your eyes bleed). The left tile features a reminder of an upcoming event, in sync with a google calendar. The right tile displays an alarm scheduled for 18:37, and will trigger a desktop notification 10 minutes before. All this is visible, clean and simple, and shows up by pressing only one key (i.e. the Windows Key).
I am posting this here because it seems to me to exhibit a pattern which many, many people are using or would be likely to use if they knew about it. My question is: How to reproduce that efficienty in Solus Budgie, using as few extra packages as possible?
To be clear, I know what you think: I shouldn't simply copy-paste features and settings across operating systems and expect that it will be available everywhere. But this is so basic and at the same time so useful that I would expect any OS to be able to allow for this, modulo the obvious environment differences.
So, how does Solus fare with respect to this?
