> Second, I simply don’t believe you that it takes a full three seconds to open gnome calculator on your new machine. Or your old one, really. (It makes me want to ask the annoying question: is Linux that bad? My Mac or Windows machine has opened the calculator instantly regardless of the era).
I believe it. It takes 10 seconds or so for the Windows 10 calculator to cold-start on my laptop.
- jhickok 5y agohuh? On my Mac it takes .5 seconds, on my Windows machine it takes only slightly longer (.5 - 1 second).
- brokenmachine 5y agoI made a shortcut to Windows 10 calculator at work, and beyond the ridiculous workarounds I had to google to get it to start from a hotkey, it's absurdly slow, like 5 seconds. I was shocked the first time I did it because Win7 calculator was basically instant. This is on a reasonable i7 PC with an SSD that is not slow for other office-y things. Why God Why, Microsoft? You're a multi-billion dollar company. You can't make a calculator that starts quickly??
