Hey everybody,

Lately I was considering Linux but I’m not sure if face recognition is supported. My laptop has an Intel realsense f200. Is there any support?

Thanks!

Edit: I want it for log in

You will have to give more information for any real answer - highly recommend you edit your post.

Face recognition for what? To log in/unlock? For Vtubing? For head tracking? For a webcam application? For organizing photo files?

Sorry, for log in purposes, like windows hello

Take a look at Howdy, like finger print it wont allow full access but once you log in at first boot you should be able to lock and log back in using your face or other bio-metric.

No, it’s for login purposes

Oh, yeah. howdy works a treat. I used it on my laptop for a while, but about 50% of the times I logged in were in the dark, and it added a small delay every time I couldn't use it, so I stopped. Plus, I generally keep my cameras physically shuttered, so it was an extra PITA step; I can type my password in faster.

But it that's your jam, howdy works perfectly.
