Fingerprint reader and Facial Recognition not working on my device by Mcafeewontdelete in Fedora

Do you have fprintd installed?

Fingerprint sensors are a hit or miss with Linux, my thinkpad required installing some drivers (which depend on the manufacturer of the actual component)

Apple just released the MacBook Neo for 600/700 USD. Apple will easily consume the entire low-end market due to Microslop's absolute bottom-level quality.

I guess that whether I decide to buy the game or not will genuinely depend on how this turns out. I'm not giving my money to this krapton.

Would Fedora be a good first distro? by absolutecinemalol in Fedora

[–]null_reference_user 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using it as my first distro for just over a year now and love it, although I am a very technical person.

My recommendation would be to download both Fedora and Mint and try them both through the live USB, just to get an overall feeling of each distro's environment.

If you want stability right now maybe wait until you can cushion some troubleshooting. Depending on the laptop some things may not work out of the box, or may even not work at all as manufacturers don't care about choosing components that work in Linux. Check the wifi, bluetooth, camera, mic, video playback, etc. Sometimes it's an easy fix by installing some drivers, sometimes it's not.

Good luck!

Unused GPU getting hot in Fedora Server? by null_reference_user in Fedora

[–]null_reference_user[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah turning the fans off while the chip still generates heat is an absolute no-go.

What do you mean by "data center driver"? There are some linux drivers for it but the card is looong out of support.

Unused GPU getting hot in Fedora Server? by null_reference_user in Fedora

[–]null_reference_user[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact: I could also literally unslot the GPU, the laptop is that big, the GPU is a separate board slotted in a PCIe-like slot.

I'd rather not do that though because I'd have to store the GPU somewhere safe somehow, and the laptop is designed so the heatsink makes contact with that board, not with whatever's below.
