Description

Hi! I just wanted to alert you to a potentially better command `hwinfo` that is available on linux systems to help discover hardware.

CPU: `hwinfo --cpu` or even better, `lscpu` (lscpu gives you CPU min and max clock speeds)
GPU: `hwinfo --gfxcard`
Keyboard: `hwinfo --keyboard` (i8042 is a PS/2 keyboard)
Mouse/TP: `hwinfo --mouse`
Wifi: `hwinfo --wlan`
BT: `hwinfo --bluetooth`
Ethernet: `hwinfo --netcard`
Storage `hwinfo --disk`

appending --short makes the output of this command even cleaner. Do not do this for mouse/keyboard.
