Windows laptop manufacturers will likely need to fix this one.

      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)

      You can choose not to use it even if Linux supports it.

          Then I really don’t see how it’s a plus. Smaller kernel size? lol

      How is not having support for something a plus for you? I swear to god, some Linux users are so stuck up.

          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.

        fingerprint login is not secure. period. Being stuck in using a password login is a plus

          You could just disable fingerprint login, though.
