However, upstream is alive and wayland-native support is apparently in the works (tho it has been some months since I last checked status), so doesn't appear to be death-bed either. I use it here, altho I wasn't satisfied with built-in only so learned lua (designed for embedding, exactly what conky uses it for) and wrote my own conky lua themes. Seems extensibility is mandatory for flexibility (handling decent detail at readable size without going fullscreen) for this sort of app, and I've learned the extensibility language of more than one such app (RIP superkaramba!) as they've gone dead over the years, but with conky alive and working on wayland-native support, hopefully it'll stick around for awhile. Meanwhile, email me privately if you're interested in a lua-based conky theme that can handle for example per-thread user/nice/system/freq (extensible to steal... if you're doing VMs) at "readble but not entire screen" sizes with AMD's 64-core/128-thread threadripper in mind (tho I'm still on an old 6-thread ATM so expanding that big likely has bugs to work out), or just for general conky discussion/questions, if you want. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
