Cool.

Are there any Linux distros that are good with both touchscreen and fingerprint scanners? I have a laptop that needs a bigger hard drive, so might as well get a new OS, and its touchscreen with a fingerprint scanner. I use it to look stuff up when I’m using another computer, and to download stuff. That’s about it now that I have a “real gaming computer”.

I use Ubuntu on my other computers, and I like it well enough. I’ve tried mint cinnamon and did not particularly like it. I’m sure ubuntu would be fine to use again, but I’d like to try something else.

    I have no personal experience with fingerprint scanners on Linux, from what I have heard it depends on your laptop with Thinkpads having usually the best support. Regarding the touchscreen, I use Fedora Silverblue on a Surface Go and Project Bluefin on a Thinkpad T480s. Touch works well on both.
