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.
Some features (DKMS uninstall, driver date lookup) depend on dkms and pacman. Other distros may need minor adjustments.
