Question about fingerprint reader on AMD FW on Linux (alien.top)

On the official site where it says to check for compatibility with different OS only Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is marked as working with workarounds. But neither 23.04 nor Mint 21.1 are claimed as supported.

Now pardon my confusion and perhaps a stupid question but aren’t these 3 distros nearly identical (at least at kernel level) and should have same hardware support? Or it has something to do with drivers?

Btw I’m not a total linux noob, it’s just been quite some time since I’ve used it. Trying to prepare before my fw ships.

Others have given you plenty of info so all I can add is that it works with a few tweaks on Mint 21.1 for me 😁
