I still have my analogue scientific calculator from the times when I had to take maths exams at uni
- ...Analog? Like an abacus?
  
  I used the wrong word, I meant to say physical, as opposed to virtual
- Did they make you yell "Eureka!" when you got the answer?
  
  Nobody makes you. It's just a natural response.

May I recommend SpeedCrunch
- Speedcrunch FTW. I use it all the time.
- Ok that does look nice
- You definitely may! I'll have to check that out, it looks good!

I honestly run all my calculations in my app launcher when im on PC lol
Or whatever the android calculator is on mobile :3
- Same. Not that I do advanced stuff, but KRunner is often good enough.
  
  The pop!_os launcher for me, which does also have a calculator feature, which does everything I need :3

I use python even for simple calculations
- I second this
- Julia for me. It has better mathematical syntax, especially if you happen to be doing anything with matrices, and theres no need to include a library for elementary functions.

kcalc 4 me
- They really missed a trick naming that one
  
  Calk was such an obvious choice...

cli version based
- yes and with custom readline config (/etc/inputrc) you can use vim keybinds in it
  
  I'm so sorry.

All my homies use casio fx, ti-CAS and/or Wolfram Alpha
- I am not positive but I think raspberry pi is includes free Mathematica

Can someone contribute to qalculate by organizing the manual? There's so much mixed documentation in various places it took me 4 years to find the "where" operator of qalc

fun fact: the windows calculator is open source https://github.com/microsoft/calculator

To be 100% honest, I just open a terminal and use clisp. Or an RPN calculator when I'm on my phone (RPN Calculator)

bc
- bc -l gang

I use python...

I use bc or calc on the Linux command line. Been doing it for 20 years now

You can't take my hp-49 from me and even if did I'd just emulate it on my phone or computer

Im pretty sure u can compile it for Windows as well

qalc is pretty nice and it works

Console calculator for the win!

Straight up great calculator, I use it all the time now
There is no joke

Symbolab got me through college (and wolfram alpha when symbolab didn't cut it)
