About

The Fedora Hardware Database is automatically created based on hardware probes collected by hw-probe RPM package or by this flatpak.

It is a part of the global Linux Hardware Database, the successor of Smolt project.

Installation

# dnf install hw-probe

Usage

Submit your hardware:

# hw-probe -all -upload

Output:

   Probe for hardware ... Ok
   Reading logs ... Ok
   Uploaded to DB, Thank you!
   Probe URL: https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=c84b37d646

Decode ACPI tables (requires acpica package):

# hw-probe -all -upload -decode-acpi

Perform simple graphics tests (requires mesa-demos package):

# hw-probe -all -upload -check

Import created probes to a local directory:

# hw-probe -import ./Directory_to_save_index

Reports backup

All collected reports are anonymized and dumped to this Github repository: https://github.com/linuxhw/

Statistics

By creating a hardware probe you contribute to the "HDD/SSD Real-Life Reliability Test" and "Devices with poor Linux-compatibility" studies.
