New package: Lshw (with GTK interface)
Today I looked for a package that contains the GTK interface for lshw. It was nowhere to be found, including AUR, so I've made a package that contains both the CLI and GTK versions.
Enjoy

Just FYI but if you use lshw from the repos, you just need to run "lshw -X" to get the GUI.

Re: New package: Lshw (with GTK interface)
I didn't know the version in the repos contained the GTK version. Still, this package contains a desktop file along with a logo, and uses the more-commonly-known "lshw-gtk" command to start the GTK interface. Both approaches are fine, I guess.

Re: New package: Lshw (with GTK interface)
Looks like it gives good information, unfortunately on my old machine it took about 10 minutes to lauch. I've always used hardinfo which has done well for me.
