Conky is just a standalone program, you just need to install it and invoke it. It lives in the default repos.
There are some windowing switches you'll need to get familiar with to make it behave the way you want, but it's just the one .conkyrc file to change things.
So you've worked with conky ??ππ
If you mean I've installed, configured and used it, yes.
You should be able to install evilwm and conky using apt.

Outside of the install step (youβll use apt to install), the setup instructions are the same.
Inside of evilwm you can manually launch conky from a terminal (ctrl alt enter to open a terminal), or if you want it to start automatically you can add it to the .xinitrc (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xinit).
Evilwm has a configuration file where you can set window configuration on a per app basis (so if you wanted it as part of the background layer, or in a fixed window location.
Thanks Broπππππ Both of these links are extremely useful π€©π€©π€©π€©π€©π€©π€©
You work on evilwm ??πππππ
Iβve never used either evilwm or conky. I just know where to look (the wikis!) for good instructions. π€
If you have any issues with setting up software, the Archlinux wiki and the Gentoo wikis are very high quality. You may have slight changes you need to make for your system (like you use the apt package manager while Arch and Gentoo use pacman and portage) but the configuration, tips and troubleshooting sections are pretty universal.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
