Yes. "The current QSI".

You know previously it was running in a terminal and the command was quick-system-info-mx (still valid) which had just the qsi (not the log files etc.)

Then quick-system-info-gui was done , that's why they called it QSI - gui, which's actually just the QSI now :)

Yes. It is a good thing that we can see a list of log files in the QSI graphical user interface.
Before I started with MX I didn't know about the log files.
That is why I am curious about them, and what the users are using them for.
Like I expected, it is mostly technical important information for solving technical problems, and there is something to learn about the system by reading them.

I make my own log files about login, updates and snapshots, so I also wonder how much of that is a waste because the most important information already is logged by default. I guess at least saving the full log from snapshots every time is a waste, mostly because it is so long and of so little interest that nobody ever wants to read it.
