[SOLVED] Conky and MATE desktop

Snubbi · 13 October 2020 06:40

Hi
I have never tried Conky before, but would like to use it now. I can see that there are the following packages in the archive

conky 1.11.5-4
conky-manager 2.4-4
conky-git 1.11.6.r5.g1abae952-1
conky-manager2-git 2.7-3

Which packages will you suggest. I want Conky to look like in the picture below.
Is there a good guide to setting up Conky. I have not tried Conky before.
