Hardinfo2 History Page

When Linux was young
This program is from the time when Linux was young and has evolved along side the Kernel and Distros.
It was included in Fedora 1 and Debian 3 in 2003, which was around the time, that Linux started to be widely known outside the academic/hackers world.


History of Linux OS
1970 - Kenneth Lane Thompson - Unix & B
1970 - Dennish Ritchie - C
1979 - Bjarne Stroustrup - C++
1983 - Richard Matthew Stallman - FOSS, GNU: GCC, GPL Licenses
1991 - Linus Torvalds - Linux Kernel
1993 - Patrick Volkerding - Slackware - first main stream source Linux
1993 - Ian Murdock - Debian - first main stream Linux
1995 - Marc Ewing/Bob Young - Red Hat Software - first commercial FOSS
1998 - World Wide Web adoption (ADSL Speeds)
2000 - Microsoft declares war on Linux and FOSS
2003 - This is were hardinfo2 starts
2003 - Patrick Mochel, Mike Murphy - SysFS
2005 - Linus Torvalds - git
2008 - Jesse Barnes - Direct Rendering Manager (DRM)
2008 - Thomas Dohmke, Chris Wanstrath, P.J. Hyett, Scott Chacon - GitHub
2008 - Kristian Høgsberg - Wayland
2010 - Lennart Poettering - SystemD
2012 - Even Microsoft embraces FOSS
2018 - Microsoft buys GitHub
2023 - Linux Operating Systems on par with proprietary ones
2024 - Nvidia embraces FOSS (Last mayor HW vendor)


Version 0.3.3 2003
Xentry Special Functions Calculator
First distributed version

It was released in 2003 made by lpereira, who needed the program for personal daily problems - much like every FOSS program starts - a need for personal usage.


Version 0.3.6 2005
Xentry Special Functions Calculator
Latest of the original layout from 2005

High quality look and feel for programs of that time period, but relatively little information could be provided.


Version 0.4.0 2008
Xentry Special Functions Calculator
The new layout for more information from 2008

Now lpereira had gotten some positive attention and was keen on changing the program to be more than just personal needs.
So much improvement from version 0.3 to 0.4 - lots of information nicely formatted.
So remember that if you want programs to evolve - give the FOSS projects some love! - We develop together


Version 0.5 2009
Xentry Special Functions Calculator
This is the most famous version from 2009.

Linus Tech Tips said he loved this program with his polite comment: "It's better than nothing!" - LTT-Youtube
Magazines around the world noticed the GUI program and wrote nice articles about it. Some users made videos showing how to use the program and showed it off to others, so much love, thanx.
Google Scholar lists academic articles, that uses hardinfo. Also, Tom's Hardware uses hardinfo2 Tom's HW


2011
The webserver was lost in 2011 as a german Open Source Software initiative shutdown and there was no backup. lpereira moved to the new project lwan, leaving the project without a maintainer.


Version 0.5git/0.6a 2017-2020
Xentry Special Functions Calculator
Up2dating effort, so nice!

New release effort by bp0 + (lpereira) made a huge task with help from ocerman and others
Development stopped in 2020.
Never Released but was in some distros.


Version 2.1.11 2024
Xentry Special Functions Calculator
Released 2024-05 - Dark motherboard theme

New community edition
hwspeedy repay to Linux community for 25 years of fun with Linux, thanx!

News:
Lots of Maintenance/testing/doc/bugfixing and updating for current distros
Keeping it working for ~10 years of old distros and tools
New Benchmarks that works from slow to fast machines
Added themes and dark/light mode
Remade the lost website (This website)
CLI improved for command line usage
Lots of UI/UX improvements -> Refreshed


Want to be part of the future of hardinfo2 - please join the hardinfo2 community at github, thanx.
