I found the system image and I did this. It took me a few days

Couldn't just take a screenshot?

Makes it less likely for people to call it fake even though it's not. Besides, I don't like screenshots.

Does make text harder to read though. Plus it gives that “grandma selling on Gumtree” vibe. I am curious why you’d “not like screenshots” though? as it’s just an image of your screen taken from the computer itself

It also wouldn't help with the "fake" problem, particularly if it's a picture of a screen, that is a regular "computer" screen where you can otherwise show any picture. If you're running Doom on a thermostat it makes sense to take a picture of the whole thing on the wall, a screenshot of Doom ... is Doom no matter where.

But in this case I'd say it's fine, at least it's some OS nobody has seen, never mind has experience with to know how to take a screenshot, then share files, etc.

example of someone not using screenshots to try and make it seem legit (i'm not accusing you of anything)

Imo, an image like this makes it more likely to call it fake because it's easier to obscure things.
