Hi, I've just built an Arch Linux package for hw-probe. See https://github.com/linuxhw/hw-probe/blob/master/INSTALL.md#install-on-arch-linux. The command to replenish the database: sudo hw-probe -all -upload One can also use a lightweight all-in-one AppImage w/o the need to install anything to the system: https://github.com/linuxhw/hw-probe#appimage Thank you.
