I've Been Trying Cosmic Desktop For a Month

It has been nearly a month now since System 76 released a beta build of Pop OS! 24.04 with their new Cosmic Desktop. Up until this point, I had largely avoided playing with the Cosmic Desktop as I’m generally not interested in putting alpha-quality software on my main devices. This seemed like a great time to slap the new Pop OS! onto my System 76 Pangolin laptop and give it a spin, however.

I recently switched to trying out System 76’s PopOS Linux on my Thinkpad laptop. So far I am extremely happy daily driving this distro but, out of the box, it doesn’t seem to have built-in support for my laptop’s fingerprint reader. Luckily, it’s extremely simple to fix this.
