   I like Mint better than Ubuntu.  I like Cinnamon DE better than Gnome.   
   I like that Mint eschews snap, and it is 'ok' w/ me that its default   
   includes Flatpak,  (But) I prefer conventional repositories and .ppa   
   package management over the alternative snap/flat systems.   
      
   I just booted a live Mint 21 Cinnamon, employed its default Synaptic to   
   find that its gnome-calendar was installed by default; its version   
   41.2+mint1+vanessa which is maintained by the Debian Gnome maintainers.   
      
   I opened the calendar, added an event for tomorrow, and then a single   
   click opened the event's window to access Edit which showed the R slider   
   and the event delete button at the bottom of edit.
