I was scared off by linux for a while since everything seemed so complicated, but after the initial setup for things it seems to be superior. I thought it would only be for the lock screen but it works for anything, its so nice.

Face unlock just works on my computer for logging in, so having to setitup was part of what kept me on windows. After setting it up with howdy in 30 minutes (I didn’t realize I had to add the lines to the files for each login pam thing initially), the implementation is superior to windows, it literally works everywhere without issue and no reentry, feels like using my iphone face id.

I was getting so tired of typing in my password that I was going to find a way to turn it off, this works as well as turning it off since its instant, but is obv more secure since its face unlock.

    And for the people with internet, tv, radio or access to newspapers:

    the police can make you look at the camera to unlock your phone (for example to check if you’re aiding refugees from the ethnic lgbtq cleansing) but they cant (easily and in some countries legally) force you to type in a pin and password. I know the point is a bit moot for a pc as at that point the will just rip out your drive, assuming its not encrypted.

    Still, worth mentioning imo.
