An independent Linux alternative inspired by desktop installed driver list utilities, it indexes /lib/modules kernel trees, built-in driver manifests, live /proc/modules state, and /sys/devices hardware modalias bindings. Key Features: * Kernel Driver Tree & Built-in Indexer: Catalogs loadable .ko modules, modules.dep dependencies, modules.builtin drivers, and modules.alias rules from host /lib/modules with automatic fallback to /sys/module and /sys/bus/\*/drivers on custom kernels. * Pure-Python ELF .modinfo Inspector: Reads .modinfo sections directly from uncompressed and compressed .ko binaries alongside modules.builtin.modinfo to display descriptions, authors, licenses, vermagic strings, dependencies, and module parameters. * Hardware Modalias Correlation: Enumerates /sys/devices/\*\*/modalias nodes across PCI, USB, ACPI, platform, NVMe, VirtIO, and VMBus buses and correlates each device with its active bound driver and matching modules.alias patterns. * Subsystem Breakdown & Export: Summarizes driver counts and disk footprint by kernel subsystem and exports full inventories to CSV and JSON.

They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd If you’re running [Kubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://kubuntu.org/) or later, including [Kubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu) and [Kubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CosmicCuttlefish/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go. Versions of Kubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-14-04-lts) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-15-10) don’t include *snap* by default, but *snap* can be installed from the command line as follows: ``` sudo apt update sudo apt install snapd ``` ### Install System Hardware Driver Catalog To install System Hardware Driver Catalog, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install hardware-driver-catalog ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
