How to make the most of my X1C Gen 6?
the python-validity fingerprint reader driver can have an issue after waking from suspend, the fix can be found here: https://github.com/uunicorn/python-validity/issues/3
- Will the fingerprint reader on the t490 work with Linux? (I haven't chosen yet but it will def be either Linux mint or pop os)

Microsoft will upgrade Windows 10 21H2 users whether they like it or not
Did you try this for the fingerprint reader, out of curiosity? https://github.com/uunicorn/python-validity/blob/master/pyth...
I don't have a Lenovo, I have a Dell, but while tinkering to get the fingerprint reader on my machine working, I had come across this (and I understand it works for Lenovo).

What are the first things you do/install on your new ThinkPad?
Here it is. Worked like a charm for me

Fingerprint reader worked on Arch, struggling to get it running on Gentoo
Update - I've put Arch back on it for diagnosis, and with this repo from the AUR I've got it working again.

Barrier: Open-Source KVM Software
There is an actively developed fork https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap, however that fork is still undergoing heavy development and recommends sticking with Barrier until they're able to release v3.0.0 which they expect rather soon.

Hrvach/Deskhop: Fast Desktop Switching Device
barrier is basically a dead project now. The active members of the project forked it and are going to release when ready but

Keep an eye on that for anything new

KDE Plasma 6.0 Is Enabling Wayland by Default
There's a new fork of barrier called input leap (not to be confused with the leap motion), https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap with work on getting Wayland support in shape. Not sure how far the support is atm, but the gnome 45 release notes mentioned "Wayland support for Input Leap" (https://release.gnome.org/45/)

What do you think of Smart KVM as a feature on a monitor?
I wonder if I would be better off just buying a LG monitor without the Smart KVM, and instead using Barrier (or, Input Leap, which seems to be maintained actively compared to Barrier https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap)
- Barrier-like KVM for XWayland and MacOS
-
KVM but only mouse and keyboard
Could also be worth mentioning that Barrier is basically unmaintained at this point so you'll probably never get Wayland support there. The maintainers (apparently the owner of the debauchee/barrier dropped off the face of the earth) of Barrier forked it and migrated to input-leap (issue with details if interested) which is where all development is presently, although they haven't made a release yet.
