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.
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.
fingerprint login is not secure. period. Being stuck in using a password login is a plus
You could just disable fingerprint login, though.
"what, you dont want to use the new door lock made from soggy white bread? You deadbolt losers are so stuck up"
