Conky is free widget for Linux, It can display any information which you want to show on your desktop. This conky gadget has no name, Author said this is my first-conky-config, So I decided to give name 1st-conky. 1st Conky is available in two versions Black and White/Gray. 1st-conky was available for some environments but NoobsLab provides after modification for all Linux desktops like (Gnome Shell, Unity, Cinnamon, Gnome Classic, Mate, and others), Also added more things to display more info on desktop. 1st-conky shows Day, Date, Time, Cpu usage, Single/Dual/Quad Core Cpu, Memory usage, HDD usage, Net Up and Down Speed, and Cpu uptime. You can check other conky widgets collection for linux desktop to make desktop nice.
