Hardware Probe
by Linux Hardware Project
Check operability of computer hardware and find drivers
About
A tool to probe for hardware, check operability and find drivers with the help of Linux Hardware Database.
Probe is a snapshot of your computer hardware state. The tool checks operability of devices by analysis of logs, uploads anonymized hardware info to the database and returns a permanent url to view the probe of the computer. If some of hardware devices doesn't work due to a missed driver then the tool will suggest a proper Linux kernel version according to the LKDDb or third-party drivers.
Run as root if you want to check health of all your hard drives: flatpak run org.linux_hardware.hw-probe -all -upload
