# 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 <a href="https://github.com/aeroshell-desktop/aerothemeplasma">AeroThemePlasma</a>, but looks great on regular KDE as well.

[!NOTE] Built for CachyOS / Arch Linux. Also packaged as a Nix flake for NixOS.

Some features (DKMS uninstall, driver date lookup) depend on dkms and pacman. Other distros may need minor adjustments.

Installation

Arch / CachyOS (AUR)

yay -S linux-devmgmt

Pre-built binaries

Download the latest binary for your architecture from the Releases page and place it somewhere in your $PATH:

chmod +x devmgmt-x86_64
sudo mv devmgmt-x86_64 /usr/local/bin/devmgmt

Building

Arch / CachyOS

sudo pacman -S qt6-base cmake
cmake -B build
cmake --build build -j
./build/devmgmt

Nix

A dev shell with Qt Creator and GDB is also available:

nix develop

Runtime dependencies

On Arch, you need these installed separately. The Nix flake handles all of them automatically.
