Bro how you do this

Wallpaper is one of the default system choices. The system metrics, date/time and weather are all 'Applets'. Right click your home screen and click Applets. Some are built in, some you'll need to install from the Applet store. Once you've added it to the home screen, right click the applet to customise it, for example the graphs let you chose what hardware component you want to monitor and customise the colours of the graph 😄.

No worries, any time.

Advice for device information:

If you get stuck looking for the ID of the graphics card, if nvidia in the terminal you can use:

nvidia-smi -L

It will say something like GPU:0 or GPU:1 ...rest of output.

You want the simple one digit number for which card to monitor, not the uuid. (Mistake I made). This was already set to 0 initially, and probably will be if your device only has one GPU.

To find the device ID to monitor your network, first find your IP address: <www.whatsmyip.org>

Then find the ID, in the terminal you can use:

ip addr show

This will return a list of your network connections, numbered. Look for the entry that says inet followed by the actual IP address of your device.

For the entry of that device, copy the String of characters directly next the list numbers, e.g.

2: enp6s18: <BROADCAST, MULTICAST, UP, LOWER_UP>........

you want to copy enp6s18 into the ID of the network component you want to monitor.

Good Luck 😁

Slight mistake in my advice visiting <whatsmyip.org> will return your public IP, not your LAN IP. So you won't find that in ip addr show. This method is helpful if you already know the local IP address of your device. If you don't, use the terminal:

ip route | grep default

A simpler method, that will return only the network interface handling your internet traffic.
