For me it’s calculating. Too many people put math into their search engines and not their calculator.

    Search engine UI is better for it than most default calculators. I use Kubuntu and KCalc is usually pretty crap in comparison.

    Say I want to calculate 220480*(1.0523-1.0522). Now I want to 220480*(1.0524-1.0523), doing that in KCalc requires awkwardly typing out the entire thing again. Doing it in duckduckgo I just change 23 and 22 to 24 and 23.

    But I also don’t use a calculator often enough to look for a better one to install.

      I use librecalc - I would’ve used excell in a previous life, but most spreadsheets will do - and what I like about it is that I can keep a running tally of the entire calculation chain as I go. And once you learn to use the tool, it can do much, much more powerful things.
