Hey, if my assertion incentivizes someone to figure out how to do that, I'm more than willing to admit I was wrong :). The thing is, IMO "fast enough" for a desktop calculator is pretty darn fast. In my opinion the current integrated DEB version is already slow enough to be frustrating, so there'

That's a good case for keeping this bug logged here under gnome- calculator. Maybe we should just drop the snap and default to the deb. I'll assign this bug to ubuntu-meta for that... Although to say something is not physically possible is just inviting people to prove that statement wrong. It is

I'm not sure why the "is 2s too slow to start" is the question being asked. Who starts and stops their calculator multiple times in a row? That's not a realistic use-case for the vast majority. Most people need a calculator once a day or every few days, and a desktop calculator is not an applicat
