Read the FAQ first
- I have checked the FAQ but the issue is not covered
Description
Previously, the OS string showed the version too, for example v2.40.4:

I think it would be pretty valuable to show the Debian version too, preferably DEBIAN_VERSION_FULL:
pi@rpi5:~ $ cat /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 13 (trixie)" NAME="Debian GNU/Linux" VERSION_ID="13" VERSION="13 (trixie)" VERSION_CODENAME=trixie DEBIAN_VERSION_FULL=13.1 ID=debian HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/" SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support" BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"
Also, while at it, maybe it would make sense to trim/collapse whitespaces from device names? For example I have this:
{
"name": " USB SanDisk 3.2Gen1",
"devPath": "/dev/sda",
"bytesRead": 0,
"bytesWritten": 0,
"readCount": 0,
"writeCount": 0
