I got that easily with Mint Software Manager.  Works very well.  DFS
is easily impressed.

 I don't think there was anything in his pretty gui that couldn't
be sussed-out through the Linux command line -- either by examining
/proc or /sys; or running tools like dmidecode, cpuid, lscpu, or lsmem
(to name a few).

Hours if not days of combing thru command-line output to assemble what HWiNFO for Windows shows in 2 seconds, in a perfect and easily navigated layout.
Have you checked out the 6,646-line hobbyware mess that 'hwinfo' gives you?
* the CPU info is printed twice (in v21.72 anyway), lines 128 and 1169.
* the tty devices in udevinfo are listed like so:
   tty49
   tty5
   tty50
* not one mention of motherboards?  wtf?
* it says I have a 3.5" floppy installed
That's what happens when 18 contributors aren't reined in, and the hobby project has no defined goals.  And it long ago should've been made into an ncurses or gtk app with a minimal GUI.
The entire GuhNoo/Linux bizarro world can't compete with the one Slovakian commercial developer that created HWiNFO for Windows.

Or, you can get really fancy:

Nice profiling tools.  Not meant to do what HWiNFO does, though.
