Fprint works amazingly well on my thinkpad. Worked fine for me on KDE Plasma 5 and also works on Plasma 6 for me too.

And that's because your laptop is a thinkpad, indeed I got my fingerprint reader working on my ideapad because it has the same fingerprint reader of a thinkpad, but to get it working I needed to install the driver myself

I guess that's why everybody buys ThinkPads if they wanna use Linux hee hee
