Description

I had an issue with my Intel GPU not being recognized by proper name in the "About" screen of System Settings.
Turns out that fixing that is as easy as running `sudo update-pciids` command.

Here's a StackExchange post where my issue is described a bit more: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/624804/can-i-see-an-actual-model-of-my-intel-gpu-in-my-distros-about-screen/624815#624815

I believe that elementaryOS could automate this step so that users see the proper GPU name in "About".
