Has anyone here had success with USB fingerprint scanners? I also found this Microsoft keyboard with fingerprint reader but I don’t know if it works with linux.

Almost every one of the fingerprint sensors in laptops are not supported by Linux due to proprietary protocols. Never managed to get stuff used by Dell or HP with Linux.
But the Grow R503 can be used over uart, what can be connected to usb with some minor additional parts.
I recently got a Dell Latitude 14 2-in-1 with the AMD 8840U, Put on the latest Fedora Kinoite and the fingerprint reader works FYI.
same with my old Lenovo P53 (for years) -I needed adding some packages though, but that was so long ago…
same here but I have a Dell Inspiron 7415 2-in-1. Just installed fedora and it worked out of the box.
Thankfully the Framework Laptop fingerprint reader works.
That’s why I’m buying it because they’ve got actual Linux support (and because of being able to reconfigure it for the task at hand)
That sucks so much. I have such a cool vein scanner built in to unlock my laptop jedi style and I can’t use it because Fujitsu decided to not add support for Linux 🙄
T480s here works on Ubuntu.
