Independently of whether you are able to do that without corrupting something,
please provide here GUI terminal input/output from 'inxi -GSaz',
...
This is still bullseye, a netinstall from a week ago and I have
no inxi according to locate according to updatedb.

Super! Install, as root, the excellent /current/ inxi script instead:

        cd /usr/local/bin && wget -O inxi smxi.org/inxi && chmod +x inxi
had to break this up and use sudo: should have become root first
gene@coyote:/usr/local/bin$ sudo wget -O inxi smxi.org/inxi && chmod +x inxi

It doesn't create /etc/inxi.conf, which is needed only if you wish to override
built in inxi defaults.

The current devel version is 3.3.28-24, release, 3.3.27. Changelog:
