What I did with this one was -

Scrolled to the top
Started with "inxi" with my mouse
Dragged to the bottom of the output and (important for you, perhaps)
Left out highlighting my user name, both top and bottom (edited)
Right-clicked Copy
Then into the Codes Tags popup and Paste and enter
 


I copied and pasted your directions into a document so I could see all of them as I was doing it
 
Hold on, give me a minute. I need to reset my brain...
 
There's a joke on the tip of my tongue, I am seriously not going there.

BTW when we post a laugh, we are laughing with you not at you

I think I got it this time. Everything I see in the terminal is in that post.
 
Legend, high five
 
Give yourself 3 pats on the back, and a cyber hug from us.

I will digest its content now.
 
That's amazing! I can see my monitor, HDMI connection with resolution (you probably can even tell that it's a high speed HDMI and my monitor won't work with an older one)

My phone, it's a Samsung, it's tethered, not using a wifi hotspot, and debugging enabled.

My keyboard and mouse are wireless, Logitech....

This is incredible!
What amazes me even more is that I know what some of this is! Wow! I'm blown away!
 
LG (GoldStar)

The above is listed as your Monitor, if that is not the case, we can follow that up elsewhere to this Thread, which is Timeshift focused.

I'm brainstorming and will add more
 
No problem, keep brainstorming. I mesmerized by what I'm seeing. I'm also wondering about some things based on information I've picked up since learning everything I know about PC hardware and drivers.
 
Next I will talk about your drive space.

If you want, run for yourself (don't post it)

Code:
inxi -Fxxxs

and copy and store its content in a text file on your computer where you know where to find it.

The swapping of the z for the s will output for you your Serial Numbers, MAC addresses (for internet/network) and so on.

With the use of the z, that sensitive data is replaced with

So we know you have a 1 TB WD hard drive.

Only 26.05 GiB has been used with the LM 21.3 'Virginia' Cinnamon install PLUS those 5 TS snapshots.

I'll explain more on that as you digest what you are seeing, and I digest a well-earned beer.
 
Why, why, why? Why do they absolutely INSIST on laying on the mouse?

Sorry, that picture was loading just now....
Hold on a sec while I read that stuff
 
(and they ask me why my Timeshift thread is 22 pages long)

BTW you are not the only culprit.
 
They lay on the mouse a. because its warm b. it is where your hand has been. c.it is as close to you as they can get
