Weird! Not sure why mine is different. Pressing enter or space after using the fingerprint loops back to the main screen right away! I had this same problem when I setup Linux Mint on my ThinkPad T480 as well and that had Secure Boot off! I’m thinking it’s probably due to encrypting the drive?
Secure boot does not seem to change how the reader functions, at least for me. I did install Mint with secure boot enabled.
After looking around it seems the way the reader is acting, for me at least, is standard. Having to press enter after scanning your finger is normal.
As for why you are getting a log in loop that is clearly something different.
I found another with the same issue on the Mint forms and it was tied to encyption of the /home folder. Its a bit dated:

Definitely good to know! I guess I’ll treat it as the bootup from my phone where I need to put in the password before being able to use the fingerprint reader. Same thing and allows me to remember the password that way.
It seems like it has been a bug for a very long time
Indeed the tracking said it had been signed upon receipt, but in fact it had been thrown behind a flowerpot 
Anyway, the laptop works as expected.

Did anyone in the Guild purchase the DIY model of the AMD mainboard AMD Ryzen™ 7 7840U ?
I am running Fedora 39 and this morning was prompt with this package:
Updates in this release
• Update AMD Firmware to fix issues with Kernel 6.5 not booting. This update includes the
following Firmware C20MP_PHY_2.14.2, IMU11.1.44.0, PSP_00.2D.00.74 and SMU76.70.0.
• Fix power button LED behavior when doing a hard power off.
• Update power limit table.
• Modify sleep LED behavior.
• Revert PD workarounds for display output causing a crash on resume from S4.
To update the system firmware when in standalone mode, you must set the BIOS menu Setup Utility → Advanced->Standalone Operation to Enabled.
It is the BIOS updated to upgrade 3.03.
The update completed successfully.
I noticed I do not have any UI/GUI crash/restart when Firefox is first launch after a full reboot. I am hoping this is part of the graphic update.
I did check the support page for Framework AMD units and noticed that 3.03 is now shown. When I got my mainboard unit a few weeks ago 3.02 was listed.
would like to read what others have seen (on the AMD/Linux side)…
