Calculate is a fast and functional user-friendly Linux distribution, based on Gentoo and still backward compatible with it. It maintains an optimal balance between state-of-the-art and stability, providing the latest versions of applications and stable versions of libraries. As Calculate Linux is a rolling-release distribution, you install the system once and update it throughout the life of your hardware.

Start and work: Calculate Linux provides all the software you need for your daily work. Use the bottom panel to access the main applications.
Fast as the wind: Calculate Linux can be definitely used on an old computer. You can always optimize your system to match your hardware and to best fit your needs.
Latest versions: Install the system once and update when needed. You can even update from a new image system while still running the current one.
Stable updates: You have the choice between testing and stable updates, depending on whether you need the latest or the more sustainable versions.
A client/server solution: Create mixed Linux/Windows networks based on Calculate, using roaming profiles, common accounts and shared network resources.

A handy desktop environment: Spare yourself the trouble of getting used to a window manager you did not use before. Whatever the desktop environment you choose between KDE, Cinnamon, MATE, Xfce, LXQt, it will look and feel familiar.

Optimal for VPS: Low system requirements and installation supported for any shared host or LXC / LXD container make it possible for Calculate to be used even on low performance computers.
