Conky is a free and light-weight system monitor for Ubuntu and other Linux distributions, that displays any information on your desktop with graphical interface. Conky is very popular among Ubuntu users and there are many beautiful themes available for it that can display your system information such as CPU usage, RAM usage, Clock, swap, disk, network monitor and more. My favorite theme for Conky is called Conky Lua which allows to display system information on nice rings. This Conky theme works on Ubuntu, Linuxmint, openSUSE, Debian and fedora.
