Conky on Wayland

Support Software & Applications
2

I have Three Conkys on Hyprland and Qtile (Wayland), so it may work on Sway wm. To use Conky on wayland, add these two lines on your Conky script.

conky.config = {
out_to_x = false,
out_to_wayland = true,

Change own_window_type to ‘override’ ( own_window_type = ‘override’,)

If you add these lines, Conky will works on Wayland without any issue. But Conky will not load on Xorg . I am using a panel Conky with all necessary widget, a dock Conky for detailed system information and a keybinding Conky to show all keyboard shortcuts, Manjaro announcements and Calendar.

dock conky:-
Install screenfetch, sed, grep, curl and jq.

Conky graphs(cpugraph, network upspeedgraph and downspeedgraph) are not working on wayland, so I removed it. Removing Conky graphs will reduce Cpu usage
