Add Conky To Debian and its derivatives - Linux Mint, LMDE, etc..

Описание: Whether you install conky first or gather a collection of scripts first is your choice. I always have my .conky folder ready to go.

I use the same .conky on on all my builds, and mostly the same conky script. But I change it up every so often.

There are hundreds of conky script collections out there. mostly on github, a few on SourceForge.
For me, I downloaded MX-Linux ISO, booted it up and put a copy of the .conky folder on a USB stick.

To install conky
sudo apt install conky-all

Add conky scripts to your system

Copy .conky to the /home folder of the installation.
Copy the launch script below also to /home.

Then just start this script below:

####################
#!/usr/bin/env bash

Save this in /home as start_conky.sh
Check permissions to see it is set to be executable.
Put this command in startup applications: sh start_conky.sh

Wait 20 seconds
sleep 20

Run conky

conky -b -c ~/.conky/MX-antiX/MX-antiX17

####################

Place this command in your autostart, or Sessions and Startup, whatever your DE calls it:

sh start_conky.sh


Of course you can use any conky script instead of .conky/MX-antiX/MX-antiX17.
Use pkill conky to remove the conky from the screen when testing several.

The video shows an example of modifying a conky LUA script.
