You can install conky with:

sudo apt install conky-all

Here is the repository for the Conky Manager:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tomtomtom/conky-manager

sudo apt update && sudo apt install conky-manager

You can browse Pling or DeviantArt for premade conky scripts.

24

The manager helps a lot.

Conky-all package installs the needed mechanics to Run Conky, but it does not really offer Conky's, or a way of easily managing them.

25

I don't use wayland.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tomtomtom/conky-manager
sudo apt update && sudo apt install conky-manager
I got this tip from an answer from Aravisiano

26

The Guide is now updated.

  • Including Transparent Moving Windows
  • Blur My Shell
27

Any other things I should add?

28

Maybe how to restore vertical workspaces with extensions (if possible? :pleading_face: :pray: )

29

How did you get the stats (system, HD, wireless) on the desktop?

30

conky - though it require that you can edit its config files to get it decent.

There is the Extension V-Shell for customizing the Overview. With that You can set up vertical Workspaces.

35

That is Arcmenu. Or what exactly dou You mean?

36

Zorin Pro also have 6 desktops.
What I seeing Gnome is very configurable.

37

I must sayed newest ubuntu is near the same what Zorin but Zorin have a more desktop.
In ubuntu don't working many things and snap package doing this system slowly.

39

Any chance theres a way to get the icons from Garuda Dr460nized? And or the backgrounds?

40

When Garuda has a Live Mode, You could start it on a USB Stick in Live Mode. Then search for the Icons and the Background Pictures and copy them on the Desktop and then put them on another USB Stick or go through the File Manager to Your installed System and move the Stuff to it.

I remember the fun I had with Sabayon 4.0 - writing messages on screen with fire using a setting in Compiz ... and also having puddles appear on screen, cleared by magic windscreen wipers!

This on PCLOS Debian Plasma:

No, I think it's a better rendered horse called Zorin than my last A.I. attempt (different site).
