In almost every ubuntu flavor you can display the date next to the time, but some far I have not been able to find this option. I could click on the calendar and view the date, but it just bugs me that I can't just look at it. I feel like it is something on every device I have or have had.
I imagine when I right-click the time, there should be a checkbox where I can add/remove the date from that.
You need to do a bit of terminal work for this. Don't worry - its not complicated.
Open your terminal and copy - paste the following:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface clock-show-date true
This will display the date in the format of your region-locale.
To hide the date:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface clock-show-date false
Budgie 10.3 provides option to customize time shown on budgie panel. With this update, you can enable date with a single click.
Currently, Ubuntu Budgie/budgie-remix provides budgie 10.2.9. Though in near future it will ship budgie 10.3 and can be installed from ubuntu budgie backport repository.
