Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    The one on my ThinkPad started working when I upgraded to KDE 6 / Wayland. I was pretty happy about that.

    For me it only works for signing in after sleep, but not for anything else (T490). Does your Thinkpad work better/in more ways?

    Werks on my Thinkpad X13

    Same on Thinkpad T495

    I understand wanting to use this, but, fingerprint reader is so I secure I usually avoid it.

    Is it really less secure than a password? How so?

    Biometric data can be used as login but is unsuitable as password, since it can't be changed once compromised.
