Wow, a generic “Linux good, anything else dogshit” comment.
This is in no way relevant to the topic.
This is like if someone posted that they couldn’t get their car with the color they wanted and you saying “fuck you and your car, I can paint my living room in any color I want, right now it is striped burgundy and mint, aren’t living rooms way better than cars?”
and the original comment is entirely irrelevant to the original thread? You can’t be serious.
Am i not allowed to enjoy the flexibility of linux, ever? I agree with the original poster, i think android and IOS should objectively support these features, they have no reason not to. I’ve never said otherwise, i just think they’re dogshit OS’s because they don’t support basic security features you would otherwise expect to any level of consistency.
No, it’s more like ford only producing cars in black, and people complaining about the fact that they don’t come in any other color, and then me mentioning that actually, you can just paint your own car a different color, it’s not really that hard. But regardless of that ford only selling cars in black is a rather shitty business practice to do especially when customers want cars in other colors, because black is, rather boring.
i wasn’t talking about phones, but the pinephone, and the pinephone64, and a handful of other phones that are supposedly running linux, that are either not out yet, or really expensive.
It’s literally linux phone. It runs regular linux. Regular linux uses PAM modules. There is no difference between configuring it on desktop and on phone. If comprehending ability to use same OS on desktop and phone is beyond your intellectual ability, I will guide you with this logical chain: linux on desktop -> linux on ARM computer like raspberry pi -> linux on ARM computer based on Allwinner A64 -> PinePhone is based on Allwinner A64.
If you still don’t grasp it, I’ll try once more. This can be installed on regular linux. Single Board Computers can run regular linux. This includes Pine64, which uses A64 chip. A64 devices can run it from sd card. And if you can’t imagine how Pine64 that works on A64 and PinePhone that works on A64 are connected, here’s neat trick: insert bootable sd card into Pine64, load linux, configure math captcha module, shut it down, insert same sd card into powered off PinePhone, power it on, it will load exact same OS your Pine64 have been using and where math captcha is configured.
You still have not shown me a Phone configured as you bragged it could.
You don’t grasp that I am not interested in theory, I am interested in practical demonstrations.
My point is that it doesn’t matter if Linux xan do this, the discussion was about a mobile phone that could do both biometrics and pin at the same time.
Show me a Linux phone that is actually configured to unlock with both biometrics and pin, then you have proven that Linux is relevant.
I don’t care about what is technically possible, I care about it actually being done.
I am not even asking if it is easy to setup or simple to use, I am just asking you to prove that it can be done on a Linux phone.
I am just asking for a proof of concept running on a Linux phone.
I am giving Linux the best possible chance here, the bare minimum.
The tasks I want to see done on a Linux phone is the following:
Prompt for a fingerprint, face scan, or any quick biometric.
Once passed the biometric prompt successfully, the phone should prompt for a pin.
once passed both prompts the phone should unlock.
I love Linux, I have been a Linux sysadmin for almost a decade and used Linux on and off for almost twenty years. I daily drive Windows due to work and gaming, but am considering switching to Linux at home when Win10 goes EOL.
But unless you can show me a Linux phone configured as described above then Linux is not the answer.
My point is that it doesn’t matter if Linux xan do this, the discussion was about a mobile phone that could do both biometrics and pin at the same time.
if you lack basic cognitive reasoning to the point that someone can configure PAM in a specific way on desktop linux, and that presumably, a phone running the exact same software suite, with no differences aside from graphical environment, somehow couldn’t do this is actually just kind of sad.
Wait until you find out how monitors display color. They have three different colors, red green and blue, and somehow, that manages to make all the funny colors on your screen. But since you can’t see the individual pixels with your naked eye, i guess that must be untrue now huh?

So this is your alt, how cute!
i have an alt? Since when?
I don’t have any other accounts on lemmy lmao, you could doxx me and you would find nothing.
It is rather “you have proprietary car where you can’t even change volume on radio, while I have car that can be repaired with standard parts”.
With PAM you can do literal math captcha.
Show me a mobile phone running Linux with that config working. It doesn’t exist.
i wasn’t talking about phones, but the pinephone, and the pinephone64, and a handful of other phones that are supposedly running linux, that are either not out yet, or really expensive.
Is this your alt?
lol.
nope, unfortunately this is my main, and by main i mean the one sole singular lemmy account that i have.
PinePhone64.
That is just a Phone model, you have yet to show me that phone being configured as you specified
go show me that it’s impossible then, once you show me that it’s impossible i will go and do it myself just to spite you.
lol.
lol.

So linuxphones you don’t consider as phones? Fine.
Wow, you still don’t get it.

For the time being I wish you a happy midsummer.
