I like a minimalist desktop too, but I was envious of Vinny's Conky display. I was checking for a plasma widget that showed something similar and discovered "Simple Monitor", which you can see in the upper left corner of my screen. I wish it had GPU temps but nothing is perfect.
Yepp that's what I have as well. I even posted here about it and don G+. It's pretty nice considering it's not a conky.

I like that one ,,,,,,,,but will keep my conky for now ,,,,,,I spent a lot of time tweaking it .
I removed that "Simple Monitor" because besides looking pretty it didn't tell me what I already knew, or cared to know. I already had date and time on the right side of the system tray. I didn't care about CPU activity and I knew that I had 6Gb of RAM. It didn't have GPU temps. So, I added CPU T0 to my GPU temp and deleted the Simple Monitor. So, I really am minimalist now.

Pretty slick computational device display you have there!
Yeah dude, I bought myself a little gift this year:
Acer XR382CQK. 37.5", nice slight curve, 3840 x 1600 at 75 Hz, USB 3.1 hub, etc.
My only complaints: USB ports are on the backside making them difficult to reach, speakers are weak, it takes four button pushes to change inputs - which I do a lot. But it was almost half the price of the other 34-38" monitors with the same features.
It's wide and tall enough to hold three full-sized, readable (with these old eyes) documents side-by-side when I'm working.
Interesting conky. I just starting using conky again - it's been a long time - mostly because I stopped caring about much of the information I was getting from it or I was getting it from elsewhere, like widgets. A few days ago I wanted to be able to see my external IP address so I could tell at a glance when I was using a VPN vs. not, so I created a network conky that shows my IP and up/down rates. I haven't bothered to add anything else. Maybe something to do with my btrfs backup and snapshot status would be useful.
I also rearranged my desktop stuff to change my work-flow (panel on the left) and to look better on my current background.
