--- Comment #3 from Harald Sitter <sit...@kde.org> ---
Being more useful is always good, but all that information is already available
in the respective modules :|. Renderer seems useful enough, and there is a
separate bug for that. But all the other stuff seems fairly meh at best. In
fact, for the online status the information is available by default on the
desktop via the systray.

The problem in my eyes, is that if we put too much information into the main
page it becomes way less valuable and also way harder to look nice. The
referenced screenshot for example would have trouble fitting on <1080p so one
would have a nice scrollbar :@
Then I thought maybe we should have tabs. But what's the difference between a
tab and the actual relevant modules, so that's no good either.

I guess, what I am saying is that I'd prefer we have a story for why a given
data point is relevant to have on the system info module as opposed to the
individual modules. That could be simply that it's useful for showing off to
your friend, not just that it is needed for diagnostics.

Along a similar line, the GL module does a distinctly bad job of putting the
key points in your face, so perhaps the underlying problem with the data is
more that it is hard to find in the existing modules? If so, I'd favor seeing
that fixed ^^
