Calc -> opens libre office spreadsheets because the calculator is kalc or kcalc or some dumb shit

Maybe doesn't help if you just want a stock KDE system, but I really like qalculate-qt (though for me this was more about moving on from galculator when it went over to CSD).

To be fair, that is a similar problem, just with a q instead of a k.

You'd need to know the name of the calculator to access it, if you don't have a dedicated button to load it, or a menu to find it in.

If it's your first time on linux, you might well think it doesn't have a calculator at all.

I see that as a bigger issue of default applications not being set correctly (and installing an alternative should hopefully fix that).

Search should also mitigate this (application search, package installer). kalc is not useful for search (kcalc is fine in that way), but the second obvious search term would be searching ulat (e/or) which would work for qalculate, and when descriptions are part of search calc actually does result in qalculate popping up.

For menus qalculate is in education and science section (because it can do a lot more than basic math), which might make it easier to find (on my system, both of those menus have that as the only option) or harder if you expect it to be in accessories like everything else standard.
