When we introduced the system information, I selected `###` as the
prefix for each line. While this doesn't cause any problems in the
terminal, when someone copies the output to an issue or the forum, every
line is formatted as a heading, which is not ideal. That's why I made
some rework and suggest these changes.
In addition to the formatting changes, I added some env and RAM details
plus the uptime. These are just suggestions – if you don't think they're
worth adding, I'm happy to remove them. We wanted to keep this block
compact.
@sdetweil, since you are often on the front line with the error messages
from users: Is there any information missing in the system block that
you often have to request additionally?
Feel free to request changes!
