Oh! Is _that_ why the calculator is nigh unusable now? Sheesh, this just shot snap's credibility right out the window. It's faster for me to boot up the node executable and do my calculations there.

The minimal fix for the sluggish calculator on Ubuntu 18.04 to 19.10:

  sudo snap remove gnome-calculator
  sudo apt install gnome-calculator

The more complete solution is entirely removing snap. I did that long ago, but my process was a little painful. From my logs, it went something like this:

  snap list
  snap remove <copy-paste packages from above>
  sudo service snapd restart # core is tricky to get rid of
  sudo snap remove core
  snap list # check it's empty
  sudo apt install gnome-calculator gnome-characters gnome-logs gnome-system-monitor
  sudo apt purge snapd squashfs-tools gnome-software-plugin-snap
  rm -r ~/snap

Yes! But you can "fix" it:

`bc -l` is pretty awesome.
