Ahh so that might be the reason fprintd sucked when I tried it. Often times I had to provide my password after using the fingerprint. So instead of making it more convenient I had to use the fingerprint AND password

Maybe not the right thread to ask, and you don’t need to answer, but how did install (on any distro) work pre Calamares? Even though I tried Linux the first time over 15 years ago, I think I never not used Calamares

Running an Acer Chromebook R1 on OpenSUSE right now. ChromeOS was end of life, so I managed to get Libreboot to work. It got a touch screen and you can fold it into a tablet. The touch functionality is ok, but the problem is that the Chromebook specs shit, so I have to run xfce. But tbh, I didn’t use the touch functionality much when it was a Chromebook either.

I have a Logitech MX Vertical at work. I am running Mint. Never had any problems, worked out of the box. I mostly use it with the dongle which always is plugged in my dock

I rocked Linux when doing my CS degree. It was great, and I felt I had a much better learning outcome than my peers. It will depend on requirements from your uni. I had some trouble with my school’s printers (but so did those running Windows sometimes), but we had a web interface we could use. And in one class the lecturer decided that we needed to use Visual Studio. We could use Rider instead but got no support from the lecturer, so I had to figure out some stuff myself. But it was a good learning process.

A lot of stuff was much easier for me to do than my peers. Especially terminal stuff, Docker and other stuff where they often used WSL or VMs. As where I had native tools

Can’t you just run bash in Windows?
