I think there were two levels of misunderstanding, by bad.

In my understanding jlow (OC) is talking about not using biometric identification, and you misinterpreted it as not using Linux on Fairphone. I then misinterpreted your comment to mean "why should I not use biometric identification when I switch to Mobile Linux" and responded to that.
