Do not ask users to share the output of #dmidecode without strong need, as it contains data some people would prefer to keep privat (like serial numbers for board, chassis, …).

Instead tell them to share the output of the following command, which usually suffices (for example to generate #kernel quirks):

grep -v /sys/class/dmi/id/* 2>/dev/null

#NoteToSelf #LinuxKernel

A few weeks ago I made the decision to go for the #comptiaaplus exam to lock in basic concepts of what computing really is. #dmidecode really helped me relate the cpu, motherboard, bios, chassis etc., in my own #linux machine to the course material. #trisquellinux #technoethical #foss #coreboot #libreboot

@RL_Dane @mjgardner @benjaminhollon Would be very unlikely to be any performance boost. Probably a decrease I'd guess. Things that take longest are most dynamic, usb, gfx, smartctl, the stuff that is static relatively for each boot are very fast programs, #lspci, #dmidecode, but adding boot testing... not fun, lol. It would just be more code. This why I focus a lot on realtime optimizations, removing subshell calls, that's the real speedups.
