We'll list a few methods of getting Application, Driver, kernel and log information
Logs
# You can use |grep for a more specific result
# You'll usually find error logs in /var/logs
dmesg
# dmesg is an event viewer
$ dmesg
Kernel
# To show kernel drivers handling each device
$ lspci -k
# Show Kernel
$ uname -a
GPU driver
# Show which video-driver is being used by X-org
$ lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 | grep 'in use'
Application
# Show possible locations for application
$ whereis <APP_NAME>
# Show what will be run be default
$ which <APP_NAME>
tldr
# man pages are genius
# tldr is the to long don't read of man pages
# It will cut straight to the chase and tell you the most common commands^
$ yaourt -S nodejs-tldr-git
# Then just use it the same way, you would with man
# Ex for tar
$ tldr tar
