Customization Conky allows for extensive customization. Users can create their own themes and widgets, which can display a wide variety of system information.
Lightweight Conky is known for being lightweight and efficient, consuming minimal system resources compared to other system monitoring tools.
Flexibility The application supports numerous outputs like text, graphs, and bars, allowing users to choose how they want their data visualized.
Community Support Conky has a strong community and a wealth of user-contributed templates and scripts, making it easier for new users to get started.
Integration It can be integrated into various desktop environments and window managers, making it a versatile tool across different Linux distributions.
Possible disadvantages
Complexity The high level of customization can make the initial setup process complex and daunting for new users.
Configuration Format Conky uses its own configuration format, which can be difficult to learn and understand for those who are not familiar with it.
Stability Sometimes Conky can be less stable, especially when running complex scripts or on less common desktop environments.
Documentation While there is community support, the official documentation can be somewhat lacking, making it difficult to troubleshoot certain issues.
Limited Cross-Platform Support Conky is primarily designed for Linux and UNIX-like systems, making it less useful for users on Windows or macOS.
User-friendly GUI RcloneView provides a graphical user interface for Rclone, making it accessible to users who are not comfortable with command-line operations. This lowers the barrier to entry for managing cloud storage transfers.
Multi-cloud support Since it is built on top of Rclone, RcloneView supports a wide range of cloud storage providers including Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Amazon S3, and many others, allowing users to manage multiple cloud services from a single interface.
Transfer monitoring and management RcloneView offers visual tools for monitoring file transfers, including progress bars, transfer speeds, and logs, making it easier to track and manage ongoing sync and copy operations.
Cross-platform availability RcloneView is available on multiple operating systems, enabling users on Windows, macOS, and Linux to use the same familiar interface for their cloud storage management needs.
Leverages Rclone's powerful engine By building on top of Rclone, RcloneView benefits from all the robust features of Rclone such as bandwidth throttling, filtering, encryption, and efficient sync algorithms without requiring users to memorize complex CLI flags.
Possible disadvantages
Limited community and support RcloneView has a relatively small user community compared to Rclone itself or other popular cloud management tools, which can make finding troubleshooting help, tutorials, and community-driven support more difficult.
Feature lag behind Rclone CLI As a GUI wrapper, RcloneView may not immediately support all of the latest features and options available in the Rclone command-line tool, meaning power users might still need to fall back to the CLI for advanced configurations.
Dependency on Rclone RcloneView requires Rclone to be installed and properly configured, adding an extra setup step and a dependency that users need to maintain and keep updated separately.
Less mature than alternatives Compared to other Rclone GUI options like Rclone Browser or the built-in Rclone web GUI, RcloneView may be less polished or less frequently updated, potentially leading to bugs or compatibility issues with newer Rclone versions.
Limited advanced configuration options While the GUI simplifies basic operations, it may not expose all of Rclone's advanced configuration options such as complex filter rules, custom backend settings, or scripting capabilities, limiting its usefulness for advanced workflows.

An app to count down till certain day
Maybe put something like echo $(($(date -d 24-Dec +%j) - $(date +%j))) days into your bashrc. Conky should be able to display it nicely on the desktop.

Funny meme btw. Personally, I use xorg with 3 displays. Fortunately, the resolution is same on all screens (full HD). I use Komorebi for live wallpapers and conky for sidebar. It works flawlessly.
