Quotea fingerprint sensor (although that only apparently works on Windows)

Selling a dedicated Linux laptop with customized Ubuntu distro and having a non-working peripheral? That's pretty lame, because there are plenty of fingerprint readers that work. On both my Lenovos they worked OOTB and even on my old HP EliteBook you could get it to work with some tinkering (and we are talking about 16.04 Ubuntu).

Are fingerprint readers useful anyway? I'm pretty sure someone getting a hold of your laptop can easily find your finger prints all over the device, so can't they simply copy it and unlock the device.

After over 80 weeks the Steam Deck leaves the top 10 global sellers on Steam

Keep in mind that "globally" doesn't actually mean globally since the Steam Deck isn't selling in every territory, with big markets still left out.
