I have often thought that the Customization forum should have a devoted Conky thread where tips and scripts can be shared.
Conky does not get the love it deserves.

Next month I'm taking my laptop for a hard drive replacement and a battery removal, so it can continue to work for years to come even if it always needs to stay plugged in, because even then that's still easier to take to other places than a full pc. So, since I'm doing all important work on my tablet and the little I'm doing on the laptop is being saved on cloud storage, a pre-failure hard drive isn't gonna stop me from messing around a bit with linux while I'm not at home
This time, I wanted to try out something different and decided to go for a MacOS-style look. I kinda know how the OS looks from the outside but I've never used it so it's gonna be fun getting used to that kind of layout

You might think about just pulling the battery and the internal drive and leaving both out... boot from a USB drive. It takes a bit more to set it up if you move it from place to place, but if the drive fails, you can quickly plug in another drive of the same size, clone a backup .IMG file (which you can keep on a USB stick) back onto the new drive, and you're back up and running with all your old settings.

that's an option I've considered. The battery is definitely gonna be pulled out. As for the hard drive, I thought of pulling it out and replacing it with a new one (probably a SSD), but putting it inside the laptop. Since I need portability when it comes to this, the laptop is pretty big (15.6") and I also need to carry a tablet with a bluetooth keyboard in the same bag, so I don't think an external hard drive can safely travel in there
Also, I don't really mind reinstalling the system once the hard drive is replaced. All important data is backed up in a pc I have at home and on cloud storage, and setting up the linux desktop after a new install is actually fun for me

I usually don't like solarized themes much, but this one blends together very nicely. Did you find similar themes for the terminal as well?
Somewhat off-topic, but I like my startup sounds.

The only issue I had with that theme is the menu - as it is transparent, any open applications like Firefox would make menu entries hard to read!
My current desktop (after having to reinstall MX-Linux 23.1 KDE following a game gl-117 trashing X11 which only left Wayland available!) is this:

I put all the theming elements here:
Just remember that MX-Linux traditionally has only ever been xfce until they released their first KDE (Plasma) version in 2022 (if I remember correctly). So if the hearts were from xfce users they would be hard pressed to achieve the same results.
This one would be great on my desktop, will you be releasing it?
A week or so.
