One of the major reasons I gave up on trying to run Linux on my laptop was lack of fingerprint reader support.
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.
