Hey everyone!
I've been doing the Linux thing for a while and I have come to like GNOME (I know, no one is perfect)
I'm in the USA, but I'm an odd ball who wants my weeks to start on Monday like a lot of the world and many businesses. In most DE's that's a simple setting adjustment, but for GNOME, who doesn't value simplicity as much, it requires messing with files. I've used Arch, and Fedora, and now onto Debian here.
In Arch, I went into the /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_US locale and put in first_weekday 2 and it worked ok, but it wasn't my favorite.
Fedora was as simple as adding the GB locale to LC_TIME in /etc/locale.conf as suggested in the thread I had created there: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/ ... -usa/87926
I really liked this option and it was very simple and survied the Fedora 38>39 migration. I was really hoping that would work here, but it does not for some reason.
I tried both of those on Debian, and adding first_weekday to the locale worked . . . until the 12.5 update a few days ago and now it's gone again. So I'm back to trying to find something permanent
I tried adding /etc/locale.conf as suggested by Fedora and it didn't do anything, I also tried the same thing to /etc/default/locale as suggested on some DDG's which also didn't work. I tried #locale-gen and that didn't help, reboot/logout etc. Still nothing.
Help!
Current:
This is my goal (again):
https://redhat.discourse-cdn.com/fedora ... 90x388.png
I have also tried LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8" as well as also adding quotes around US time. . .
Please let me know if I can provide any other outputs/read outs/etc
Thanks everyone!
