Hardinfo is just a graphical app (GTK) for viewing your hardware isn’t it? There is a console based one though for hardware info:

```auto
dnf install lshw

```

and then run that from the console and it will display the hardware:

```auto
lshw

```

hardinfo does exist for Fedora, so it could be built easily enough with mock from the source rpm. Geekbench can also be used for benchmarking.
