we don't display the MM version still, its displayed up at the top, but would be nice to have it done here for user copy/paste uptime and RAM are ok, not used much but, never know |

Additionally to #3839 did some rework on the system logging. - feat: include MagicMirror version (like Sam suggested in #3839) - refactor: use more variables to get the string array less complex - refactor: get `installedNodeVersion` from si.versions (with that it was possible to drop the import of `execSync`) - fix: `used node` was always the same as the installed one. Since Electron comes with its own node version, this can differ. This is now shown correctly (again?) with the use of `process.version`. - a bit formatting I think these changes make the code easier to understand and therefore easier to maintain. Except for showing the MM version there is no big difference for the user. ## before ```bash ##### System Information ##### - SYSTEM: manufacturer: Notebook; model: N650DU; virtual: false; timeZone: Europe/Berlin - OS: platform: linux; distro: Debian GNU/Linux; release: 12; arch: x64; kernel: 5.10.0-20-amd64 - VERSIONS: electron: 36.3.2; used node: 22.15.0; installed node: 22.15.0; npm: 10.9.0; pm2: 6.0.6 - ENV: XDG_SESSION_TYPE: wayland; MM_CONFIG_FILE: config/config_MMM-PublicTransportHafas.js; WAYLAND_DISPLAY: wayland-0; DISPLAY: :0; ELECTRON_ENABLE_GPU: undefined - RAM: total: 15925.45 MB; free: 2716.90 MB; used: 13209.04 MB - UPTIME: 259 minutes ``` ## after ```bash #### System Information #### - SYSTEM: manufacturer: Notebook; model: N650DU; virtual: false; MM: 2.33.0-develop - OS: platform: linux; distro: Debian GNU/Linux; release: 12; arch: x64; kernel: 5.10.0-20-amd64 - VERSIONS: electron: 36.3.2; used node: 22.15.1; installed node: 22.15.0; npm: 10.9.0; pm2: 6.0.6 - ENV: XDG_SESSION_TYPE: wayland; MM_CONFIG_FILE: config/config_MMM-PublicTransportHafas.js WAYLAND_DISPLAY: wayland-0; DISPLAY: :0; ELECTRON_ENABLE_GPU: undefined - RAM: total: 15925.45 MB; free: 2814.49 MB; used: 13110.96 MB - OTHERS: uptime: 260 minutes; timeZone: Europe/Berlin ```

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!
