About the Hardware Database

The Linux Hardware Database at Linux-Hardware.org is the largest (Linux) database of hardware with 200.000+ configurations collected since 2014.

The database is grown by Linux users from all over the world with the help of hw-probe client application and dumped to our repositories on GitHub.

Hardware probe tool 1.6

In this release we have properly tested and fixed support for almost all *BSD systems, expanded support for more Linux systems, implemented probing of HP Smart Array and improved decorating of possibly significant data in collected logs.

LHWM — Linux/BSD Hardware Monitoring feature is publicly available.

See detailed changelog in the NEWS.md file.

Preliminary hardware support status report - one week before the release of Debian 11

See report here. We have ~400 computers tested on Debian 11 at the moment. 10% of them are probed from LiveUSBs, others are installed systems.

The main goal of the report is to make sure that we have not lost support for any hardware configuration classes. To achieve this, I compared it with the similar report for Debian 10 in order to find significant discrepancies.

Good news that we've covered all hardware classes tested on Debian 10 and differences in statistical indicators are relatively small. Particularly, I don't see any noticeable regression in use of AMD or NVIDIA graphics cards (see discussion here). Either affected graphics cards are rare or people do not have problems with installing additional firmware packages.

Thanks to all for participating in the report! Looking forward to get more Debian hardware probes from the community to monitor hardware support status and trends.
