Conky? A window with stats on it?
I’m pretty sure you can spin anything like the sort with ags. Takes some legwork though (bit of TypeScript or Lua). Then just set the layer to something near the bottom and put it on every monitor, skabing, shaboom.
I don’t understand what political comments like this have to do with conky, but Keir Starmer is best Prime Minister that we’ve got right now and I’d appreciate it if we could stick to the topic at hand
Last week I played a bit with Rainmeter and find the idea pretty cool. It is similar to conky but less nerdy and more user friendly. Pity we don’t have anything like that in Linux.
Pretty useless unless you use KDE, but I really like KDE’s widgets.
Bunsenlabs Linux (a successor to Crunchbang) still has it by default and their forums have some current conversations about it, maybe check there?
People still use Conky?
I do! KDE widgets always seem to end up bugging out for me but Conky is always nice and chill.
apparently not, but what the hell do they use then to show system stats and widgets persistently on their desktop?
About half a hundred widgets on Plasma.
I think that’s out of style. I think most people are using their bar to display the basics, and then just view detailed system info in terminal.
Well, what good bars are there now?
I’ve personally been using polybar for the last 2 years. A combination of the default modules, and then some custom scripts I’ve written.
Polybar looks pretty cool
I like it, having migrated from previously using lemonbar.
I’ve seen some pretty cool stuff done with ewww
Is it on Wayland even?
It works on Wayland for me!
Docs say “sort-of kind-of” it seems.
It’s on my todo list.
Look, I don’t really see what this has to do with the main discussion, but I just want to say that - its really not fair.
For one, the way he was depicted in that video was clearly shown from behind so you couldn’t even see his face, and from the way he was talking you can immediately tell that it’s not his mannerisms. As for your other point, that’s not exactly something anyone can control now, is it? I mean how would you react if you were caught in such a dire circumstance and had to decide between your life or someone else’s.
I think it would be best if you just blanked out your comment at this point.
Edit: Thanks for following through!
