What is this calendar reminder function for? How come it consumes a lot of ram?

Kalendar is known for being a resource-hungry application. I've seen much worse than 474 MiB, actually. The reasoning is it runs a lot of stuff to synchronize data with all the services you can set it up with.

This thread is really old, but it looks like you can take the curse off by disabling the feature to show calendar events in the taskbar clock:

If you aren't using it or just don't want it you can uninstall it.

sudo pacman -Rsu kalendar

when deleted nothing happens

My mistake, those calendar reminders must be something else.

Now that I look at it myself, it appears uninstalling Kalendar is not allowed:

sudo -Rsu kalendar
[sudo] password for jeremy:
sudo: you are not permitted to use the -R option with kalendar

Oops! :flushed:

Are you able to expose any options by right-clicking on it, such as is described here:

Right click on Korganizer Reminder Daemon → untick Start Reminder on Login or Enable Reminder.

Korganizer may have pulled in/started a number of services, needed or otherwise. Hasn't it usually been a RAM hog? It's been awhile since running anything in that suite, so I'm asking for clarification on current affairs.
