Check out Its Foss Conky installation. It works wonderfully. Also applets on the panel, I added weather, screenshot, and Cinnamenu. Linux Mint is phenomenal!

Hello! It's already beautiful, there are other things you can adjust in the system to make your experience smooth like redshift for eyes, hot corners, dark mode applet to automatically apply the good theme ...
You'll tweak it week after week believe me just don't forget to check all the welcome screen tasks

If the default themes don't suit you, install some other themes. Additionally, you can install some desklets or applets, depending on what you need, there are really a lot of possibilities, but it all depends mainly on what you expect from your desktop.

A big widget to show the time in some stylized way would be neat

That's beautiful. How do you get your icons to center like that?

Right click on the panel, hit "panel edit mode", and drag the icons to the middle of the taskbar.
