    About the hardinfo software, I'm confused: on github (https://github.com/lpereira/hardinfo), you can see that the last release tag is 0.5.1 of April 2009...
    However, on the same site, we see much more recent activities, even made this year.
    Finally, I installed hardinfo on Ubuntu with the apt manager, and the About box mentions: HardInfo 0.6-alpha

Old and discontinued, but still very nice. Runs fine on openSUSE Leap 15.1.
