I wish but I have a Samsung notebook and the damn fingerprint reader won’t work on any Linux distribution.

They don't. They killed the VAIO line of products in 2020.

I don't think it is just your laptop. I've not been able to get the fingerprint reader to work properly on my Framework on Linux either. I think the support for them just sucks on Linux.
