# linux-devmgmt
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.
