I don't use Fingerprint, so I can't answer this question.

I have also read about many problems, and in short: it boots from a stick and also starts after installation, but there is a lot to do before it runs well.

A little more detail:
After playing with the xorg configuration to disable the TouchPad display (so that it can no longer be used as a display), it ran without major problems (using a Linux Mint, which uses Ubuntu 18.04 as a base). I have now been on Ubuntu 20.04 for a week, and it seems to work relatively smoothly.
I wouldn't recommend it to an absolute Linux newcomer, as it took a moment until everything ran smoothly, but basically it runs under Linux/Ubuntu (kernel >=5.4 recommended).
I hope this helps a little in making a decision.
