You can use windows hello in linux, its called "howdy" even works with sudo in terminal. Check this out: https://github.com/mudkipme/awesome-minisforum-v3?tab=readme-ov-file#faical-recognition
I tried, did not get it working, decided since it cant unlock after boot anyway it was probably not worth it.
For me it works, it took some tinkering (changing the video device). I can unlock my v3 after boot with my face.
Maybe I will try again.
