      The original conky seems to have been abandoned in 2012 @ 1.9.0 https://sourceforge.net/projects/conky/files/conky/
      http://conky.sourceforge.net this link points to github https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky
      It appears as the latest is 1.11.15 (arch has 1.11.14 currently on).
      The testing repository currently carries the 1.10.8

      My main use of the conky is to monitor top processes using cpu and ram. From a pkg called conky-manager I had gotten a Process Panel from TeeJeeTech but originally it came with just top5, I modified it to show the top 10. Here it is:

      background yes
      double_buffer yes
      alignment top_left
      border_width 0

      default_shade_color white
      draw_borders no
      draw_graph_borders yes
      draw_outline no
      draw_shades no
      gap_x 20
      gap_y 20
      net_avg_samples 2

      out_to_console no
      out_to_stderr no
