[TRACKING] Fingerprint scanner compatibility with linux (ubuntu, fedora, etc)

For normal Fedora 34, I just opened an issue ticket to ask to upgrade libfprint to 1.92.0 or newer, …

Great news! I got an answer from the Fedora libfprint maintainer that the libfprint >= 1.90.7-3.fc34 on normal Fedora 34 should work for Framework laptop. Because they applied a patch file (update-goodix.patch) to fix the issue in the RPM spec (recipe) file libfprint.spec rather than upgrading to the upstream version.

As a reference here is the commit: Commit - rpms/libfprint - d660bfe29d97b29c7636cbc902e477c2884bebf8 - src.fedoraproject.org

Hopefully other Linux distros would refer this way.
