In this file i do not see any of the strings that appear on my screen so I do not know what to edit. I could not find the conkyrc that you are referring to @Alchemix. I googled its supposed to be in home directory.
I find it very difficult to configure it from scratch. I configured my i3 keymaps and status bar by copying files provided by Oberon (the guy who packaged the i3-manjaro) and editing it by adding new things or removing what I do not want. I would like to do the same for conky. I would just want to copy the file and remove what I do not want.
PS:- I am still learning the linux file hierarchy so i still dont know what should reside where.
