Fingerprint reader support on Linux looks like it's not great.
In general, or for this particular reader? The Framework fingerprint reader works well.
For most readers from what I found. Framework is Linux only and readers do exist that work on Linux but they are more rare.
Framework is definitely not Linux only (laptops are Windows by default , but they offer a no-os option to install your own). They are however generally supportive of Linux, and it's possible that they helped make the fingerprint reader firmware work well with Linux, though I have no specific information that this was the case.
My mistake, they seem very much geared toward Linux folk.
