What's a good program or konsole command to get a hardware inventory

Windows has Device Manager. What's a good program or command that'll show me all my system hardware? Thanks.

lshw - information about hardware configuration

A small tool to provide detailed information on the hardware
configuration of the machine. It can report exact memory
configuration, firmware version, mainboard configuration, CPU version
and speed, cache configuration, bus speed, etc. on DMI-capable x86
systems, on some PowerPC machines (PowerMac G4 is known to work) and AMD64.

Information can be output in plain text, HTML or XML.

hardinfo - Displays system information

HardInfo is a small application that displays information about your
hardware and operating system. Currently it knows about PCI, ISA PnP, USB,
IDE, SCSI, Serial and parallel port devices.

NAME
dmidecode - DMI table decoder

SYNOPSIS
dmidecode [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION
dmidecode is a tool for dumping a computer’s DMI (some say SMBIOS) ta‐
ble contents in a human-readable format. This table contains a descrip‐
tion of the system’s hardware components, as well as other useful
pieces of information such as serial numbers and BIOS revision. Thanks
to this table, you can retrieve this information without having to
probe for the actual hardware. While this is a good point in terms of
report speed and safeness, this also makes the presented information
possibly unreliable.
