Give it a try.
This distro still has to go a long way. As an example, you have to manually set up monitor resolution each time you turn on the system.
I moved repos to Parabola and it works great.

Probably Conky.
Not "probably", it's exactly that.

Very pretty.
Pringle chips ... stylised
Kinda what I thought myself when I first saw it...
Actually, it's one of the 'projected' background images for the upcoming Windows 12:-

Now; nothing will ever persuade me to run/use Windows again, no matter HOW M$ develop it.....but that wallpaper just 'spoke' to me (I like this 'abstract' stuff. Always have). Especially the 'light' variant (IMO, the 'dark' variant doesn't look right, somehow. It just looks drab!)
(And this from someone that normally prefers dark backgrounds....)

Hey, Dave.
Reminds me of the gear an uncle of mine used to mess around with. He was a sergeant-major in the Royal Hong Kong Constabulary before the war, but got captured by the Japs and spent much of the war in prison as a POW.....in his case, at the Yodogawa Branch Camp in Osaka.
When he returned after the war, he'd suffered so badly from malnutrition and beri-beri that the lenses of his eyes had all but disintegrated, and to all intents & purposes was legally blind. The opticians had to create special glasses for him to take the place of his normal lenses; these had to fit his skull very tightly, so he had permanent 'grooves' in the side of his temples. He'd always had an interest in radio, and electronics in general, and was a dedicated "radio ham". Built all his own equipment, too...including a 60-foot mast in the back garden..!

That's an interesting structure in your desktop image. Did you help build it?

Not personally, probably one of my ancestors

I'm assuming that's Stonehenge, of course. Wikipedia has this image:-

....which looks very similar. Apparently Britain and Northwestern France between them possesse one of the highest concentrations of these things in the world:-
en.wikipedia.org
Britain alone is home to somewhere over 1300 of these ancient monuments at the last count. Stonehenge is one of the only henges in the world where the horizontal 'lintel' stones remain sitting across the outer ring of vertical 'standing stones'.....in this case of 'sarsen', or silicified sandstone. The inner ring is composed of standing 'bluestone'.
Considering the average weight of these stones is estimated to be anywhere from 4 to 7 tons, it really is an incredible feat of late Neolithic/early Bronze Age 'civil' engineering.
