libqalculate VS zsh4humans

1) a scientific calculator with history and variables with a UI similar to https://sourceforge.net/projects/alt1-calculator/ that also can do units like https://qalculate.github.io/ 2) a tiny text chat direct message program that is similarly as easily accessible at Atl1 3) a minimalist dock of as many instances you would like similar to https://punklabs.com/rocketdock, and like where WIN opens the start menu, WIN + # should pop the dock

But unfortunately gravity is the first unit that I find is not supported :(

There's some talk about using g0 here https://github.com/Qalculate/libqalculate/issues/498 but that doesn't work in my version (I'm using an old version, hoping to update my OS this week). You can divide it by earth gravity if you know it by heart, though

    > 100 km/h / 0.956 s / 9.8 m/s^2

I personally use Qalculate (https://qalculate.github.io/), specifically their CLI version for this purpose. I'm not sure how well it compares to GNU Units, but it works well enough for my needs; and it's fairly simple using English-like syntax.

On the terminal, I use `qalc`[1]. It's a nice natural language calculator that does arithmetic, solves quadratic equations/linear systems, does unit conversions and even a bit of calculus. Combine it with a cli graphing tool and you can do pretty cool things.

Anything more complicated I'm probably ok with latency, so I open up wolframalpha and enter it there, again, in natural language.

Btw, download qalculate.github.io and play around with it a bit. I use it for basically all the physics I do. Complete lifesaver.

Personally I use http://qalculate.github.io/ since I end up having to do unit conversions often, it's pretty handy for that

Btw: http://qalculate.github.io/ is nice. I use CLI version to fix my general math incompetence. Even does units nicely, for example, "how long it would take to download 82GB game on 50Mbit connection":

Mate Calculator: Seems a bit basic, when you can do so much more with Qalculate! https://qalculate.github.io/

You can find specific examples of autoload +X in https://github.com/romkatv/zsh4humans/tree/v5.

zsh4humans (from the creator of Powerlevel10k)

But I like the Powerlevel10k zsh theme with the Lean Style a bit more than that. I'm using it with his configurable zsh setup as my base + zcomet plugin manager. Otherwise they're pretty similar as far as general looks & use goes.

Docs are here and here. I wouldn't recommend trying zsh4humans if you aren't already comfortable with zsh configs. If you do decide to try it, read all tips linked above and follow as many as you can. The default experience is decent but it's far cry from what you can achieve with a personally tailored config.

OMZ is slow, been using zinit since it came out because OMZ and antigen were so slow to start up. Recently I found zsh4humans [1] which benchmarks much better than any other solution, is portable, and has everything I need with sane configs.

If you are trying zsh4humans, make sure to read https://github.com/romkatv/zsh4humans/blob/master/tips.md and follows as many tips as possible.

If you want to try a different preconfigured shell environment, big names are Prezto and zsh4humans. Prezto, like OMZ, comes with a plugin manager built in; zsh4humans does not.
