Windows laptop manufacturers will likely need to fix this one.

    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.

            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.)
