To get detailed information about the hardware configuration of a system, which command would you execute?

The command that provides detailed information about the hardware configuration of a system is "lshw." This utility gathers information about various hardware components, such as the CPU, RAM, motherboard, storage devices, and more, presenting it in a comprehensive format. It can output data in a simple human-readable format or in XML for more structured uses, making it a valuable tool for system administrators when trying to assess detailed hardware specifications.

In contrast, the other commands serve different purposes. For instance, "lsblk" allows you to list block devices, which shows storage devices and their mount points but does not provide in-depth details about the overall hardware configuration. The "uname -a" command primarily outputs information about the kernel and kernel version, providing details related to the operating system rather than hardware specifics. "lspci," while useful for listing PCI devices and querying information on devices connected to the PCI bus, does not provide the same broad overview of all system hardware as "lshw" does.
