Change line 29 from alignment = 'top_left' to alignment = 'top_right' to get Conky to display on the right side of your desktop. One of the most apparent changes that needs to happen is getting Conky out of the left side of the screen, where it overlaps with GNOME’s dock bar. Here’s how to open it with gedit: $ gedit ~/.conkyrc

After that, use your favorite text editor to open up the configuration file. To apply those changes, you’ll have to reload your desktop by rebooting or logging out and back in. Otherwise, to edit the settings for your specific user, first create a single user defined Conky configuration file like so: $ cp /etc/conky/nf ~/.conkyrc So if you’re looking to apply universal changes, work directly with this file. Editing this file will change the settings for every user on your Ubuntu 20.04 system. Conky’s universal configuration file is located in /etc/conky/nf. Now that Conky is up and running, we can work a bit on its aesthetics. Conky is now loaded, but looking rather ugly at the moment
