@ret nice! I ran Arch on a ThinkPad for one of my first software development jobs and it was just the perfect setup for me. The only minor complaint I had was that the Fn key is in the wrong place, but I could live with it :blobfox_w:​

@nysepho I was actually stunned that the fingerprint reader worked and integrated well with a lot of stuff. Works for desktop environment login and even PAM integration. Typing your username at a tty login and getting the Place your finger on the fingerprint sensor. prompt instead of Password: will never stop being cool to me!

@ret ohh that's really neat! I honestly thought fingerprint readers in Linux would be a real pain to get working. Well, maybe on a Dell or something..

@nysepho Yeah I think they are on a lot of laptops, but it still seems like whatever periphs ship with ThinkPads tend to get support quite quickly!
