Manjaro Setup Notes

# --------------------------------------------------------------------- 
#
# .conkyrc - derived from various examples across the 'net
#   Designed to support a 16 core processer running Manjaro
#
# You can restart conky by running
#       killall -SIGUSR1 conky

Notes: * There is a problem with the RAM usage values in the current version of conky, it intermittently reads a negative value. I just chose to ignore at this time. * To autostart added the following to Setting→Session and Startup→Application Autostart: Conky

   * Command: ''conky -c ~/.config/conky/conky.conf --daemonize --pause=5''
