System info

"System Information" text create a repetitiveness with the "System Administration" header. Changing it to "About system" would break this repetitiveness.

Also, the word "about" seems to be a standard, because is present in macOS, Windows 10, GNOME.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2021-05-26 20:00:22 UTC
But it would still have the word "System" in it. So we'd go from:

System Administration
- System Information

to:

System Administration:
- About System

It might be roll off the tongue a bit better in English; not sure about other languages.

Maybe it's worth it.

[about-distro] Rename to "About this System"

It's a bit more natural-sounding than "System Information" and it avoids
the repeated use of the word "System" as the first word (in System
Settings) and "Information" (in KInfoCenter).
