Research direction
Start by locating where mintreport displays PCI hardware identifiers and how it launches system commands; the issue specifically mentions sudo update-pciids as the refresh entry point. Done means users have a discoverable way to refresh the PCI-ID database, either through a control or the application startup behavior, with the chosen behavior verified.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
I oft see people who think their modern hardware isn't detected correctly due to an outdated PCI-ID database, and it's not obvious on how to fix this. It took me over a year to discover for myself that I had to execute sudo update-pciids to get something more reasonable to display.
Whether it be a button or just executed on launch, just having some way to quickly refresh the database would be a nice bit of QoL.
