For a while now, the fingerprint management UI in GNOME Settings (gnome-control-center) has felt outdated. While it worked, the layout and enrollment flow hadn't kept up with the rest of GNOME’s modern interface updates. I am happy that during the GNOME 51 development cycle we managed to address that. Allan Day, Marco Trevisan, and myself...

Exciting news after the Framework 12 just got a fingerprint reader.

dont use biometrics as a security solution. always use something that requires you to be conscious and coherent.

  That’s where multi factor authentication comes in. Biometrics are something that you are. You also need something that you know.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
