Better commands for discovering hardware on linux [Extremely low priority] #207

Open Overc1ocker opened 3 years ago

Overc1ocker commented 3 years ago

Hi! I just wanted to alert you to a potentially better command hwinfo that is available on linux systems to help discover hardware.

CPU: hwinfo --cpu or even better, lscpu (lscpu gives you CPU min and max clock speeds) GPU: hwinfo --gfxcard Keyboard: hwinfo --keyboard (i8042 is a PS/2 keyboard) Mouse/TP: hwinfo --mouse Wifi: hwinfo --wlan BT: hwinfo --bluetooth Ethernet: hwinfo --netcard Storage hwinfo --disk

appending --short makes the output of this command even cleaner. Do not do this for mouse/keyboard.

Hello! Thanks for the idea. hwinfo may require extra installation depending on the Linux distro. However, this is still worth working on.
