Fedora 33 : Use hw-probe to collect hardware details .

This is a project to anonymously collect hardware details of Linux-powered computers over the world and help people collaboratively debug hardware-related issues, check for Linux compatibility and find drivers. 
Probe your computer in order to participate in the project and discover your hardware in detail. Share your probes with Linux developers to debug and fix problems with your computer. 

First, install the hw-probe package with the DNF Linux tool:
[root@desk mythcat]# dnf search hw-probe
