[Solved] Where is Hardware Model info located?

Can anyone tell me where on the file system I can find this image and the info in Gnome's About tab particularly Hardware Model, please?

I found /etc/os-release that contains some of the info including the image file name, but not its location.

Thank you.

os-release.5 entry for LOGO

A string, specifying the name of an icon as defined by freedesktop.org Icon Theme Specification[5]

Where 5 is https://specifications.freedesktop.org/ … ec/latest/ and the directory layout section https://specifications.freedesktop.org/ … 01s03.html

Icons and themes are looked for in a set of directories. By default, apps should look in $HOME/.icons (for backwards compatibility), in $XDG_DATA_DIRS/icons and in /usr/share/pixmaps (in that order)

The filesystem packages contains the following in /usr/share/pixmaps

Wow, that was fast.  I spent hours over a few days looking for this information. Not all at once though.

Thank you.
