Well, the calculator that ships with Gnome would launch instantly, then freeze instantly, I would then have to keep clicking the (x) in the corner and wait for the OS to suggest killing the app
No matter how long I wait on the app, it won’t budge, you can’t even move it around the screen
Turns out the calculator works if I am not connected to the internet (Pull the Ethernet cable out)
The solution was simple, it seems the calculator freezes waiting for data from the internet, when there is no internet, it skips the step
The solution was simple, it goes online for currency conversion rates, something i never use, so the solution is to execute the following command to stop it from doing that
dconf write /org/gnome/calculator/refresh-interval 0
Yup, that is it, the calculator works perfectly now
