Long ago, at inception, what we now call X11 was called the "X Window
System".

The profile is about the display, not a printer, and both equally a part
of the 'system'.  So "system display profile" would be fine too.  But
given that this is in an area for display profiles, then just 'system'
is good enough.

fine.
