Since the website isn't loading properly (HN hug of death?), here's the summary from the homepage: """ This is a project to collect hardware details of Linux-powered computers over the world and help Linux users and developers to collaboratively debug hardware related issues, check for Linux-compatibility and find drivers. Make a probe of your computer in order to participate and discover the world of hardware in details. Share your probes and logs with Linux developers to debug and fix problems on your computer. Please read more in our blog. """ All I can say is how glad I am something like this exists!

It uses hwprobe[0] to collect the information. Very happy that this exists and it would be great if it were opt-in on distros. The website makes it very nice to check if the hardware you're going to purchase runs with linux. Invaluable to me. The trends [1] page is also pretty interesting.

  Here are a couple of requests for integrating hw-probe if anyone wants to work on them: https://github.com/calamares/calamares/issues/1454 https://github.com/calamares/calamares/issues/1454 https://bugs.debian.org/964853 https://bugs.debian.org/964853
