Fprint unlocking support

Hello community,

My first post is here.

I moved from Manjaro to EndeavourOS with KDE plasma in this last days and wanna say that i am happy with that decision.
My Thinkpad laptop supports fprint unlocking feature. Is possible to enable on Endeavour?

Does it supports?

Hi and welcome to EnOS’ forum!

I don’t have any fingerprint reader on my laptops. While waiting for those forum members who do have one, you might want to have a look at the following article and see if you could work it out by yourself:

most easy way… also not very easy as it needs to do some manual setup on all the pam settings … but the gui app is very nice and easy to use.

You should also check out the battery charging parameters if your Thinkpad has it available. I have a t480s and have it setup to prolong battery life.
