Added a memory page which matches the output given by the inxi -mxxx command. This was requested in #105.

This is exactly what I want.
Is there any reason why this hasn't been merged?
It's particularly useful if someone wants to upgrade their RAM and needs to know what type of RAM they have: DDR3/DDR4/DDR5, DIMM/SO-DIMM, available slots etc.
I have a close acquaintance who's in that situation, and it would be great to have a graphical way to check this, since a novice user might not be comfortable using the terminal to check these things.

I cloned the memory-page branch on my Linux Mint 22.3 system, compiled and installed it, but the RAM information appears empty.

Did I do something wrong?

I used these commands:

git clone -b memory-page https://github.com/garakangas/mintreport
cd mintreport/
dpkg-buildpackage --no-sign
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i mintreport*.deb

When I run it from the terminal, I get this:

federico@federico-a320:~/Descargas$ mintreport

If it helps at all:

I think the page is too technical. A little bit like the Sensors page I added earlier this year. It shows too much data and dilutes the valuable info so it's not easy to read and doesn't add much value compared to CLI.

Sensors moved to monitoring graphs in superlight. RAM usage/available belongs there as well.

RAM brand, speed, number of sticks and things which matter to people could be shown. There wouldn't be enough for a whole page, so maybe it belongs to the first page, or maybe we can show more details about the CPU cores also, and put that together somewhere.
