Biometric login. It is available to an extent through fprint on Linux but support is not there for all hardware and it isn’t a very seamless experience to setup at the moment
Biometrics authentication seems to me to be entirely useless. It’s less secure and more easily spoofed than passwords, and if you need more security 2FA or a physical key (digital or otherwise) provide it. It would be nice to have the support I guess, but the tech itself just seems like a waste of money.

Linux also has Howdy for facial recognition/“Windows Hello”

Setup right it’s a lot faster than passwords. So I guess it automatically wins vs more secure methods.
I didn’t write the rules of average human thought processes.
I had to scroll this far for a legitimate answer?

So in other words, you can’t use it in Linux…

I made almost that exact comment in this post. 🤣
You don’t suppose the fingerprint thing is a standard API kind of thing though? That was my assumption.

In KDE and I think GNOME the setup is fine. But there are no usb fingerprint readers that work with Linux, at least that you can buy.
