What steps can I take to get fingerprint function

Post by wutsinterweb »

My brand new Lenovo Ideai Pad 15ABA7 with AMD processor and 8 GB RAM came with a surprise feature: A power button with fingerprint on and off control, wake sleep control. Can I enable this in Mint somehow, and how do I go through the process to do so?

I've been using Mint for over 4 years, but I'm still a slow learner. I have a website: https://pickfetish.com. It is dedicated to guitar/instrument picks.
