Brenden Matthews explains conky

If you have seen screenshots of my desktop, you have seen conky – it\’s the one thing which is always and on all of my desktops. Looks like this:

or, a bit bigger, like this:

It\’s a beautiful piece of software, avaliable for almost all Unix-like systems including MacOS and the BSD family. I just found a video where its maker explains it:

Of course, on a modern Linux system you don\’t have to compile it, since it\’s usually in all software repositories of the available distributions – my example from above for instance was on Arch, but I have the same on Debian or on my login on Mitchie\’s Ubuntu desktop.

There\’s a Wikipedia page about conky where you can find more info. And its homepage is on GitHub as you might have seen.

As always, thanks for reading and for viewing – and thanks to Brenden for his nice little program.
