I would like to point out the biggest difficulty this faces.

There are about as many different ideas for new formats, complete with arguments about how they'd be the best one, as there are comments in this thread. And those arguments mostly hold up too.

A new format is never going to work because no one will be able to agree on what the best one is.

So here's what'd be a better alternative when considering seasons and quarters

March, June, September, and December are all 35 days long, every other month is 28 days long.

Day 365 is Year's End Day outside of the Calendar months, and Leap Day is an additional holiday inserted before January 1st when it happens.

The last adjustment I'd make is the Saint Monday plan, which is to say, make Monday a weekend day.

It's named after the moon, you see the moon at the end of the day, so the moon's day is the end of the week!

Autumn and winter should be 5 days, rest should be split between spring summer half and half and then we would all be much more happier

And how exactly would changing the calendar have an impact on the seasons?

we need a decimal based clock like during the french revolution

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_time

twelve months, each divided into three ten-day weeks called décades. The tenth day, décadi, replaced Sunday as the day of rest and festivity. The five or six extra days needed to approximate the solar or tropical year were placed after the final month of each year and called complementary days. This arrangement was an almost exact copy of the calendar used by the Ancient Egyptians, though in their case the year did not begin and end on the autumnal equinox.

A period of four years ending on a leap day was to be called a "Franciade". The name "Olympique" was originally proposed[8] but changed to Franciade to commemorate the fact that it had taken the revolution four years to establish a republican government in France.[9]

The leap year was called Sextile, an allusion to the "bissextile" leap years of the Julian and Gregorian calendars, because it contained a sixth complementary day.
