alt Hacker NewsDo the biometrics work on Linux? Last time I had a laptop with a fingerprint reader the whole thing was controlled by some Broadcom thing that was hostile to anything not made by Microsoft. A fingerprint reader is a highly optional feature so it's not a problem if it is not working.

OTOH I don't know of a single person using biometrics even on windows laptop. Is it a popular feature?
