Research direction

Start by locating the System Information panel and examining how the existing Machine, CPU, and Graphics sections are assembled and how inxi output is consumed. The work is done when a dedicated Memory section presents the detailed information requested by inxi -mxxx and is easy to find in the report.

Description

I'm on Linux Mint 21.3

Details:
Kernel: 5.15.0-126-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 11.4.0 Desktop: Cinnamon 6.0.4
tk: GTK 3.24.33 wm: muffin vt: 7 dm: LightDM 1.30.0 Distro: Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia
base: Ubuntu 22.04 jammy

It would be nice to have a dedicated Memory section with more details, in the System Information panel of Mint System Reports.

inxi -mxxx

Currently, there's only a bare minimum of memory information in the Info section at the end.

Having a dedicated Memory section would make memory info much easier to find in the report, and also provide a similar level of detail as with many other categories (Machine, CPU, Graphics, etc).
