My conky road trip was born wanting more insight into my AMD CPU (5600x) & GPU (6800XT)… more than what I could find by using KSysGuard… and not wanting to have multiple terminals of various watch commands or radeontop.
My focus on acquiring the AMD device data ended up being in direct calls to files at /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon3/ for CPU and GPU info at /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon5 and /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon5/device… proving to myself a GNU/Linux baseline fundamental of “everything is a file”.
My two core sources of inspiration for what ultimately went into my conky are:
- A user submitted design on the conky wiki set a layout/section baseline
-
@Fabby 's conky provided a better config (windowed, Manjaro colour pallette, etc), inspired some network/fs redesign, and adding the PID to the process list
