Is there any GUI application where I can see the hardware installed in my computer?
Try hardinfo or sysinfo.
sudo dnf install i-nex
sudo dnf install kinfocenter
sudo dnf install lshw-gui
(or LSHW in GNOME Software)

If you are talking of a Fedora Workstation, and you are running Gnome, there is Gnome-Settings installed by default. It provides some of the details of your hardware and offers settings capabilities where applicable. There is also the Gnome-System-Monitor which will provide some more details about CPU usage, Memory usage, Processes running, etc… Then there is Gnome-Disks for detailed working on the storage devices of your PC. If your are looking for an all in one graphic tool, something like the Device-Manager MS Windows uses, I haven’t found anything like that, but I also didn’t look.
Hello everyone, I tested the above recommendations and I liked Hardinfo, however, it is no longer available in fusion repositories so I had to install it manually by downloading the RPM from here:
https://fedora.pkgs.org/29/rpm-sphere-x86_64/hardinfo-0.5.1-15.1.x86_64.rpm.html
hardinfo has been rebooted as community edition hardinfo2!!
The great program that has been around since 2003 has just been released.
prebuild for most used distros: Release v2.0.11pre · hardinfo2/hardinfo2 · GitHub
Source with build instructions: GitHub - hardinfo2/hardinfo2: System Information and Benchmark for Linux Systems
Hope to be back in all distros soon - if you know a fedora package maintainer please ask them to ping the github project, thanx.
Latest release: Release v2.0.12 · hardinfo2/hardinfo2 · GitHub
Please use hardinfo2 from official Fedora/Redhat/Centos/Alma/Rocky/etc… repositories:
yum install hardinfo2
Please give the project some love and do a full benchmark and submit by pressing the synchronize button, thanx.

Do you have to get hardware from GUI? I trust the raw information from lspci before hoping that some GUI app doesn’t make a determination to hide what they call non-relevant hardware to not overwhelm users or maybe the app uses a database that isn’t up-to-date. That can all be researched for specific GUI apps, or you can just fire up a Terminal and type some tried-and-true commands 
I was impressed by KDE’s Info Center though and it did seem like they just presented the same raw text from those CLI apps, but in nice categorized panels.
lspci is fine - but you need quite a collection of tools and blobs from kernel docs, pcie/usb databases, sdcard db, etc. to get all the info that is presented in hardinfo2.
And the benchmark with online database could be a fun tool for Linux users. Try it out and see what you think - a lot of work has gone into this historical program.
PS: hardinfo2 can also be used in the terminal: >hardinfo2 -r -s -q
But yes, if you are developing DMA drivers for Linux kernel and wants verbose pcie info - lspci is a win.
Many has learned a lot about their Linux system by using hardinfo2 - Please try, thanx.
