murbert I don't think there is a lot of fingerprint support in Linux
This thread inspired me to plug a (plug 'n' play) fingerprint reader into my Solus laptop, one that I had used with Windows computers before I retired. It's a USB device, and it did not work on Solus.
A CLI call to lsusb found it without a problem, and identified it, but it did not initialize. Apparently it's a device that initializes and works on Windows (which I no longer use), but not on Solus. Other USB devices that work with Windows also work with my laptop, like an external drive, but not that one.
