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.

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.

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.
Calculate: make it your way Customize your system as you see fit with Calculate Utility tools. Customize the appearances. Test new builds on a multiboot flash drive.
I've been running Calculate Linux on my ThinkPad X220 for the past six months and I’m amazed how smooth it is. Gentoo’s power under the hood but with way less hassle—plus, the rolling release model really fits my workflow. Love how fast it boots and how well it runs KDE even on older hardware. I also appreciate the client/server support—it made setting up a shared network between my Linux and Windows systems surprisingly easy. https://escaperoad.org
