You still have not shown me a Phone configured as you bragged it could.
You don't grasp that I am not interested in theory, I am interested in practical demonstrations.
My point is that it doesn't matter if Linux xan do this, the discussion was about a mobile phone that could do both biometrics and pin at the same time.
So linuxphones you don't consider as phones? Fine.
Wow, you still don't get it.
Show me a Linux phone that is actually configured to unlock with both biometrics and pin, then you have proven that Linux is relevant.
I don't care about what is technically possible, I care about it actually being done.
I am not even asking if it is easy to setup or simple to use, I am just asking you to prove that it can be done on a Linux phone.
I am just asking for a proof of concept running on a Linux phone.
I am giving Linux the best possible chance here, the bare minimum.
The tasks I want to see done on a Linux phone is the following:
I love Linux, I have been a Linux sysadmin for almost a decade and used Linux on and off for almost twenty years. I daily drive Windows due to work and gaming, but am considering switching to Linux at home when Win10 goes EOL.
But unless you can show me a Linux phone configured as described above then Linux is not the answer.
For the time being I wish you a happy midsummer.
Linux is fucking dying on phones. UBport, etc all they can do is a cat and mouse game. Voip? Catch the mouse. And all the while it's running om proprietary cellular modem chips, something that will never change
if you lack basic cognitive reasoning to the point that someone can configure PAM in a specific way on desktop linux, and that presumably, a phone running the exact same software suite, with no differences aside from graphical environment, somehow couldn't do this is actually just kind of sad.
Wait until you find out how monitors display color. They have three different colors, red green and blue, and somehow, that manages to make all the funny colors on your screen. But since you can't see the individual pixels with your naked eye, i guess that must be untrue now huh?
What are you on about?
idk you tell me, i'm still trying to figure out what you were waffling on about.
