How do i edit preinstalled conky KDE

Issues & Assistance
21

There is no conky folder. Should I make it ?

22

Nope, no point if its not there. No idea how the default templates disappeared. I guess you could look on Gitlab for the source files. Otherwise there is lots of people who post their versions online.

Did you try unhiding hidden folder?

Every folder with . In beginning is hidden by default.

In the beginning every Garuda DE has a conky file or two, but times changed it :slight_smile:

Well its possible that its not included by default (dr460nized for example doesnt have it, GNOME too)
But its easy to install. There is a wiki entry dedicated to conky with the default config. :wink:

Nope, dos not help.

Please edit headline, it is not the preinstalled conky.

Start reading manuals, please.

We cant teach this conky, its sometimes complex and different for each hardware outside in the world. :slight_smile:
