Goodix fingerprint is used in Framework Laptop. This might come from that corner.



The fingerprint sensors in the Framework laptops already have open source drivers. This is for the sensors used in some older but still recent laptops from other manufacturers. I have a Dell XPS 13 from 2018 with an unsupported Goodix fingerprint sensor; I expect this would work with that.


Yes exactly it’s also the driver for my 2018 Dell XPS 15 and I think it was the last one missing for full linux support.


Actually, I have a Lenovo IdeaPad3 Slim and I had no idea of the Framework thing. Might be worth looking deeper for more devices support!
