conky: llua_do_call: function conky_main execution failed: /home/linux/Serene-Conky/Core/main.lua:55: attempt to call a nil value (global ‘cairo_xlib_surface_create’)

I already have cairo I have my lua in the system, I tried to use conky but I somehow couldn’t get it to work.

See: Conky Gihub Issue 1978 from last summer.

Looks like Conkly is not being maintained in Fedora as the current package is from Fedora 31.
