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.
"what, you dont want to use the new door lock made from soggy white bread? You deadbolt losers are so stuck up"
fingerprint login is not secure. period. Being stuck in using a password login is a plus
You could just disable fingerprint login, though.
