i3wm and showing stacking? Why. Don't like screenshots just for this #unixporn. Aka conky is pointless on twm....etc

i use conky widgets while switching to an empty workspace. its pretty useful to me

As for conky... I beg to differ. I believe it is essential. Just another point of view.

Well how? You never see it on a twm. And no opening an empty desktop just to see some funny widgets is not essential...

Well I use conky on i3wm, dwm, hlwm, openbox (setup and run as a tiler), swaywm ,dkwm.... If you check forums on EOS, ArchLabs, Arch, Debian, BunsenLabs, Gentoo among a few you will find people using Conky on Tiling Window Managers. Here are a few articles and tutorials I have written on the topic, if you wish to read them:

As for your preference of what is or is not essential, that's your preference; you are entitled to your preference. However, your preference does not necessarily mean that any, many, or most necessarily agree with you...

I appreciate your enthusiasm for conky, but I a fail to understand where you have brought up any arguments of why one should use conky in combination with a tiling window manager? Also I am not going to sift through your whole blog to find an article which mentions those arguments, just give me a proper link if there is such.

Image doesn't show up for me here 🤔

Update: now it seems to be working (voyager)
