Description Richard Llom 2020-11-28 13:47:00 UTC
I think the system information widget contains to much KDE specific information and too few system information.

Ie. Qt version and KDE frameworks version are really specific to KDE, also they can easily be looked up in any "About" information of an KDE app.

Plasma version is ok, since it is your desktop and I also wouldn't where to look it up elsewhere (except packetmanager).

What I'm missing is:
Kernel version (and name maybe)
Mesa version (along LLVM maybe)

uptime could be nice, but it is actually more of a "show-off" information.



For reference my "inxi -G" output:

In the end we went the different route and are no longer showing any of this in favour of having GPU/Swap values displayed. So I'm closing this.
