I could just write my own calculator, using the Windows programming language I'm running in Wine, that wrote my stock ticker with, but I really don't desire spending my time on something like that. I reinstalled Gnome-Calculator this morning, and it has one of the three things I'm looking for. A quick websearch will give many guides and tutorials. You don't need to learn python, just using its powerful calculation capabilities. It also has a GTK UI if you want that.Īnother neat solution is python itself if you have it on your system. It gives you a prompt and you quit it the usual way Ctrl+c (or Ctrl+d). Regarding to CLI calculators if that suits you, qalculate is as good as octave CLI can be but having way less dependencies. Octave is good, but it has an awful lot of dependencies for just a calculator, specially if you don't use Qt5 in advance or you don't plan to use its GUI.

I have to agree, Calculators use to suck. SpeedCrunch is a free, fast, high precision open source algebraic.

Just today I had to boot Windows so I could paste a LONG list of numbers into it's calculator for simple addition purposes, and I'd really like to quit needing Windows completely and just stay booted up in Linux. It includes an optional RPN mode and multi-line display, a choice of button layouts. Issuing 'wine calc' in a terminal window results in,Ġ009:fixme:actctx arse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L'-Controls' (6.0.0.0)Īnyway, sorry for the off topic, but since there are some savvy Linux users here, I thought I'd ask. I tried to bring the freekin' Windows calculator over to run in Wine, but it is so entangled in the OS I don't know if that's even possible. It takes seven presses of the key for the above example, and that is a very shortened example of what I frequently need.

Or can deal with me pasting a long series of numbers grabbed from other things I'm working on like.Īnd end up with 1,948 rather than getting a stoopid 'nan' on the calculator display. What I am looking for is a calculator that can deal with a series of entries like,ĥ2.95-44.5675*125 (only a SINGLE enter key press)Īnd come back with 1,047.8125 and not -5517.9875 which is what I get if not pressing every step of the way. Why do all the Linux calculators suck so bad? I've searched high and low for one that can do simple stuff like the stock Windows calculator and have only found either calculators with GIANT interfaces that still do stoopid things, or smaller and more useful sized ones that still act totally stoopid and require tons of extra keystrokes to accomplish basic things.
