Use TouchID to Authenticate Sudo on macOS
Does watch unlock now work natively with pam_tid? I know as of at least a few months ago it would only work if you could use touch ID, i.e. when the laptop was open. If it was docked, it would fall back to password auth.
I wrote a patcher that changed this behavior, it patched pam_tid directly on your system and just updates the API Apple calls to allow unlocking with watch-only when touch ID is unavailable:

Was a fun reverse engineering experience and wrote up some more info in the README.

Love the stability
you can even use facial recognition with IR webcam

Is linux-surface kernel necessary when installing fedora 37 on WSLG2?
I just bought a go 2 (not laptop go) this weekend and installed fedora 37 on it. Almost everything worked without the surface kernel except the camera requires v4l2loopback kernel drivers to create a gstreamer device for apps that don’t support libcamera. There were only old versions available in copr but no surface kernel headers available so I couldn’t build the kernel modules. I switched to ubuntu 22.10 and got similar hardware support but more available packages. I’m still trying to figure out how to get the IR sensors to work so I can use howdy for login/sudo. https://github.com/boltgolt/howdy

Facial Recognition
First, you'll need to install Howdy.

when will PopOS support face id logins?
I've tried using Howdy, but that doesn't seem to work. It's probably because of this issue

Webcam very poor quality
Just like with digicams, it is not just about the sensor, but also the image processing itself. Should we omit the IR sensor to replace it with a better firmware-based noise-reduction system? But what about "Howdy" / "Hello" users, if we go this route?
What are some alternatives?

slimbookface - Slimbook Face is an application that allows you to graphically manage multiple faces with boltgolt/howdy and enable PAM authentication throughout the system, or disable it at login, since login fails in some distributions or desktop environments (like KDE).
