  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.

        I got a Sceptre one a few years ago. Okay quality, terrible speakers (though an external soundbar takes care of that.)

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

      You could just disable fingerprint login, though.

        Sure, but that’s not the point of the conversation. The point is that some stranger is judging a whole community for the preference of one single person who may or may not belong to said community.

  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.

  • elbarto777@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Yup. I know that.

    • regbin_@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

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

      source

      • elbarto777@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        The plus is that I don’t even need to think about it.

        My phone tries to trick me to enable fingerprint authentication every few months. My laptop? Perfection.
