Windows 10 Calculator has been ported to Linux

The Windows 10 calculator has been ported to Linux and can be installed from the Canonical Snap Store.

In March 2019, Microsoft opened the of Windows 10 Calculator and invited developers to contribute to the development of the application.

Using the Uno platform, an open source toolkit for building multi-platform applications, the developers ported Windows 10 Calculator (calc.exe) to Linux under the name "Uno Calculator".

Below you can see the Windows 10 application running on Windows on the left and Ubuntu on the right.

So if te Ubuntu distribution and want to install Uno Calculator, you can do it through the Snap Store using the command below:
[pastacode manual = ”snap% 20install% 20uno-calculator” provider = ”manual” lang = ”php” /] Once installed, run “uno-calculator” to start the application from the Ubuntu desktop or any other desktop you use.

Although the Ubuntu distribution already has a calculator application, Uno Calculator shows us the power of multi-platform tools.

Using these tools, developers can develop applications on one platform and using the same codebase, and port them to others , such as Windows, Linux, macOS and mobile devices.

As Linux grows in popularity, and Microsoft seems to be less hostile than it used to be, we will probably see more Windows applications ported to Linux to attract to change functional.
