From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

People still use Conky?
apparently not, but what the hell do they use then to show system stats and widgets persistently on their desktop?
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
About half a hundred widgets on Plasma.
I do! KDE widgets always seem to end up bugging out for me but Conky is always nice and chill.
It's on my todo list.
Is it on Wayland even?
Docs say "sort-of kind-of" it seems.
It works on Wayland for me!
