Description

When reporting issues it's usually important to include system information. It would be quite useful if we could include a button that would copy "relevant" system info in text only form to the clipboard.
Maybe it's even possible to add this as an action to the Applications menu, like "Screenshot of a Selected area"
An example of what that content might be is what neofetch outputs:
```
$ neofetch
