Why? Why can we not turn these off? Why can we not hide the UI when opening the Calendar? Even Windows 11 lets me trim this down further than you do!

… there are 100s more…
I do not care for a notification to tell me what I am watching/listening to - I AM WATCHING IT!
I do not care for browser notifications - AT ALL - EVER!
I do not care about app notifications - I will open the App if I need it.
I do not let notifications control my life!
Why is there no option? Why is there no simple way? Why is there no “system only” option? That would disable EVERYTHING, including the UI, except for showing individual notifications (e.g. battery, updates)?
This lack of customization out of the box is seriously harming Ubuntu. Why are you making your software identical to Microsoft’s? There is a reason I want to go away from Windows!!! But, you seem to just want to pull us back!
The last 5 years of Ubuntu dev has just been chasing dragons.
