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.

How it fits BSD?

We've just implemented a new feature of the Linux hardware database that allows you to check desired computer models for BSD compatibility. You need to find the computer model you are interested in in the database first (it's large enough) and then follow new "How it fits BSD?" button at the bottom of the page. You'll get a list of devices on board and support statuses ...

Hardware trends

Today I'm glad to open the next major update of the hardware database — a live statistical report on Linux-powered hardware configurations of our users: https://linux-hardware.org/?view=trends

The report helps to answer questions like "How popular are 32-bit systems?", "How fast is SSD market share growing?", "Which hard drives are less reliable?", "How many computers use old CPU microcode?", "How good is device drivers support?", etc.

In addition to ROSA distribution, other Linux distributions also participated in the study. Most active participants currently are ...

Search for drivers

There are often cases when a couple of devices does not work properly in your computer out of the box under Linux. The reason for this may be too new hardware (not yet implemented in the kernel), the absence of necessary Linux drivers (not provided by hardware vendors), too obsolete hardware, incompatible devices (e.g. storage controller and drive model, etc.) or a defect. According to data from the Linux-Hardware.org, at least 10% of Linux users encounter such problems. According to our statistics, the most problematic devices are ...
