This is why I use Linux, the fingerprint device wouldn’t be supported so this wouldn’t be an issue /s
One of the major reasons I gave up on trying to run Linux on my laptop was lack of fingerprint reader support.
That would be a plus for me, actually. I never liked fingerprint authentication.
You can choose not to use it even if Linux supports it.
Yup. I know that.
Then I really don’t see how it’s a plus. Smaller kernel size? lol
The plus is that I don’t even need to think about it.
My phone tries to trick me to enable fingerprint authentication every few months. My laptop? Perfection.
So YES, from someone who was asked to do fingerprint authentication in a sensitive environment (and had to refuse, even to the salespeople pested me)
How is not having support for something a plus for you? I swear to god, some Linux users are so stuck up.
Where to start…
My dumb TV doesn’t support smart features. A plus.
My coffee maker doesn’t support wifi. A plus.
My games don’t support in-app purchases. A plus.
My windows 10 laptop (did you read that?! Whaaat, I’m not a Linux user???!!!) doesn’t support Windows 11. Major plus.
My MacBook’s OS version (no way!!!) doesn’t support unnecessary FaceTime features. A plus.
What TV did you get that doesn’t have smart features?
I looked, but all the ones I could find were 1080p, no HDR, and either tiny or made for commercial/industrial installation.
I got a Sceptre one a few years ago. Okay quality, terrible speakers (though an external soundbar takes care of that.)
Correct answer.
Using any form of biometric ‘login’ under the US’s “justice” system is supremely ill-advised.
Today I was fucking around with this shit. I can’t even update my distro, otherwise ecryptfs will go adios, and fingerprinting will be broken.
I have a Microsoft fingerprint reader that works fine on Linux lol

Pikachu is always surprised. And he doesn’t even speak or read English. So I was discounting him.
