I've been using this for years and find it useful.

Just save it as ~/.conkyrc

If there is a better way to enter code please let me know.

```lua
conky.config = {
    alignment = 'top_right',
    background = false,
    color2 = '008080',
    cpu_avg_samples = 2,
	default_color = '00ff00',
	double_buffer = true,
    font = 'Noto Serif:size=9',
    draw_shades = false,
    gap_x = 5,
    gap_y = 5,
    minimum_height = 15,
	minimum_width = 29,
	maximum_width = 1800,
    no_buffers = true,
	own_window = true,
    own_window_type = 'panel',
    own_window_hints = 'undecorated,skip_taskbar,skip_pager',
    own_window_transparent = false,
	update_interval = 2.0,
	use_xft = true,
}

conky.text = [[

And as an addition, some advice:  
If you want to be able to go back on that, make sure to copy the existing .conkyrc with  
`cp .conkyrc .conkyrc-old`
