In reply to MR. @MR, Yes, Conky does not have native support for Wayland, as it relies on X11 protocol and functions, which are not compatible with the Wayland display server protocol. If you attempt to run Conky on a system that uses Wayland, it may not work as expected or display correctly. In some cases, running Conky with the XWayland compatibility layer may allow it to function to some extent, but it may still encounter limitations and issues.

In reply to Avishek Kumar. So far as I know conky DOES NOT support wayland. It seems to run ineffectually if xwayland is installed.

please add conky-manager to the list of your program so much more interesting.

@ Falbe

We have tested it on the X11 server. If you are running its replacement like wayland or Mir, it should work (not guaranteed). If you face a problem we are here to help. Let us know.
