  That would be a plus for me, actually. I never liked fingerprint authentication.

    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 used???!!!) 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.

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

        You could just disable fingerprint login, though.

    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.

      Yup. I know that.

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