Simply put: The intersection of "values Linux", "has the technical chops to implement it" and "thinks using fingerprints is actually a good idea" is an empty set.
Maybe some people in this thread think they're in that intersection, but I don't think anybody actually is.
- freedomben 3y agoI would put myself in that set, but it depends on what you want to use the fingerprint for whether it's a good idea. I prefer things exactly as they are currently. I don't want my fingerprint reader to be able to unlock the keychain. However, I do use it for quickly unlocking a laptop who's keychain is already unlocked. I do this probably 10 to 15 times a day. If I had to type my long-ass password every single time, then I start to not want to lock the laptop if I'm only running to the bathroom or something, which is a very bad practice.
- mcpackieh 3y agoOkay, fair. I should have said: "thinks using fingerprints [to unlock their keychain] is actually a good idea"
