Windows 10's Calculator has been ported to Linux and can be installed from the Canonical Snap Store.
In March 2019, Microsoft open-sourced the Windows 10 Calculator and invited other developers to contribute to development .
Using the Uno Platform, an open source toolkit for creating cross-platform applications, the Uno developers ported the Windows Calculator (calc.exe) to Linux under the name "Uno Calculator"
Below you can see the Windows 10 Calculator running on Windows on the left and the Uno Calculator running on Ubuntu on the right.
If you are using Ubuntu and want to install Uno Calculator, you can do so via the Snap Store using the following command:
Once installed, run uno-calculator to launch the programs from the Ubuntu desktop.
While Ubuntu and other desktops already include a calculator app, Uno Calculator demonstrates the power of cross- platform.
Using these toolkits, developers can develop applications on one platform and use the same codeto port them to other platforms, including Windows, Linux, and macOS.
As Linux grows in popularity, and even Microsoft embraces the operating system, we can expect to see more native Windows applications ported to Linux.
For example, in July 2020, Microsoft ported its Procmon to Linux as an open source project.
