The only windows pc I still have is my laptop, which has touchscreen and fingerprint scanner. I’m sure both of those things can be worked around (most distros seem capable of touch support at any rate) but I genuinely don’t know what I’m doing trying to make that happen so it stays for now. I use it for one and only one task, so it’s not the absolute worst but I’d like to be rid of it anyway because omfg why does it need updates every single time I go to use it??

My other three computers are on Ubuntu (gasp the horrors!) It’s what I started with back in 2018, and Debian is the only base I actually know any commands for even if it isn’t very many. Plus it’s stable and does what I want out of the box. Except it didn’t register the finger print scanner when I tried. Maybe it would with a bunch of tweaking, idk.
