Got it working on my ThinkPad t480 - realised I can only maybe sometimes log into the user account. Can't replace sudo, gpg, or any other type of password, and if I remember correctly it couldn't even unlock the screen. Gave up on that idea completely.

Funnily enough, the actual fingerprint recognition was more often successful on Linux than on windows.
