At the moment, I can find no calculator application for desktop that really serves my own needs (i.e., visibility, configurable interface, etc.). I have downloaded every single application available for Devuan/Debian/Linux, and none of them is right. So far, top candidates are still kcalc-trinity, galculator (but only because it works, as visibility sucks). Of course there is qalculate (or one of its relatives, -gtk or -qt), which would work, if there were actually a package to download. Information online is vague about what's happening with that project. My phone has a decent enough calculator, true, and it's an open source version that I got from F-Droid, but I still would prefer not to use my phone as a calculator except maybe when I am out there in physical space, that place that is beyond the front door. For the moment, I have adopted a rather unconventional solution, which might possibly make me look uncool to the latter-day hipsters out there. I remembered that I do have some old handheld calculators somewhere in a box or a drawer. In particular, I have an old Texas Instruments solar-powered scientific calculator (with hard shell case), which can do almost anything except cook breakfast. It really was/is a great calculator. Unfortunately, I can't find it, not even after tearing up the whole house. But I did find an obscenely cheap Chinese-made solar calculator (brand name, LeWORLD) from 2008, and it still works, has basic functions and constants, etc., which will serve me for now, until I find a decent application for my computer desktop. I don't recommend that the kids try this. These small handheld proto-computers are like vinyl records or person-to-person conversations, something that us old guys talk about.
