Those new synaptic fingerprint sensors are a thorn in the side. Synaptic essentially decided they weren't going to release any linux binaries for it, unlike the old ones, and definitely wont open source it, so people had/have to reverse engineer it.
My work machine has one of those. In 2016 I spec'd out a thinkpad without realizing the fingerprint reader would be useless in linux and I regret having that weird divot in the palmrest.
