Direct System Conky

[Proteus]

Here is a conky system utility I made. It looks simple, yet decent, and supplies all the pertinent info you need.

Just copy all the stuff into text editor, then save as WHATEVER (no extension) then put it in your conky folder, then use conky manager to load it, or do it the old fashioned way and edit the conky config yourself to make it run. Conky Manager is sooooo much easier tho.

NOTE: I made this for use with QUAD CORE systems, it can EASILY be edited to add more or less cores.
NOTE: I included MY setup section for the windows HD since I tri boot, but you can comment out the unneeded lines with a simple # at the beginning of the line.
NOTE: The RELEASE section had to be manually typed in (Linux Mint 20.2 x64 Mate) since that part of conky got broken with the 19.X update to Mint.

lol, nope, this has been an ongoing learning experience for YEARS. I tinker with Linux in spare time. LOVE it as much as windows

Good one mate, however, I suggest move to tips/tricks, or some other section, since it is not an OS.

True, but it is part of the OS, and I had no other idea where to put it

Ahha.., then you can like I do in the Tips & Tricks & add [Linux] in the post header.
