For a while now, the fingerprint management UI in GNOME Settings (gnome-control-center) has felt outdated.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.
What is missing from my point of view is an indication of which part of your finger is currently not propperly scanned. Remember on Android and iOS you can a visual indiciation on the fingerprint picture about which part you should scan next to get full coverage of your fingerprint.
I assume this is not possible under linux because the information is not exposed by the fingerprint sensors to the system.
