2. Linux:

There are various tools for managing hardware under Linux. A commonly used tool is "lshw" (List Hardware), which displays a detailed list of all hardware components and their properties. In addition, many Linux distributions also offer graphical tools such as "GNOME Disks" or "KDE Partition Manager" for managing hard drives and partitions, as well as specific tools for configuring network connections and other hardware components.

3. iOS and Android:

On mobile operating systems such as iOS and Android, similar functionality is provided by the device's settings or system information.
