Run:
Code:
$ inxi -G
If inxi is not installed by default, install it with:
Code:
$ sudo apt install inxi
Another tool is lshw which you can install with:
Code:
$ sudo apt install lshw
Then run:
Code:
$ sudo lshw -html > lshw.html
This will create a file in your home directory, lshw.html, which you can open with firefox or web browser of choice. You will get a nicely formatted complete print out of your system's hardware, drivers in use, etc.
