LinuxMint fix fingerprint reader after sleep Thinkpad T480

I’ve noticed that my fingerprint reader stops working after laptop goes to sleep.

sudo nano /lib/systemd/system-sleep/fingerprint-reset

#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
  post)
    systemctl restart python3-validity
    ;;
esac

sudo chmod +x /lib/systemd/system-sleep/fingerprint-reset

Now you can test suspend and running fprintd-verify in terminal will work.

Install mc (midnight commander) on Valve Steam Deck

It seems that it is not that easy to install mc on steam deck even if you ask chatgpt for help, so after some trial and error here are the steps that worked for me:

sudo steamos-readonly disable
sudo rm -rf /etc/pacman.d/gnupg
sudo pacman-key --init
sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux
sudo pacman-key --populate holo
sudo pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring
sudo pacman -S mc
sudo steamos-readonly enable

Hope this helps someone.
