    What is “linux mobile”?

    Do they mean Ubuntu Touch? Postmarket OS?

      Well most of the work is on the kernel so it applies to all distros.

      I guess it’s going to be writing a linux driver for the sensor or adapting an existing one so that it picks up this particular device ID, and then some udev & pam rules to make it play nicely with the rest of the system. So it’s vaguely distro-agnostic.
