Hello. I want to buy myself Dell XPS 13 9310 (2020). The unit will
arrive in few weeks, so I used the time to ask this questio. It has a
fingerprint sensor Goodix 27c6:533c. But official driver is for
Ubuntu and no RPM. There is a post how to install it, but replacing
packages' files is very likely to break after update. Post link:

It is absolutely unecessary to do write to modules.alias, I think.
That Ubuntu package has a TOD library, which enables to use OEM
drivers but there is no TOD for fedora. It would be nice to do TOD
libfprint package, which provides libfprint (so no ugly replacements
which will disappear after update) and that driver package or make it
one package.
If it can be possible, can someone please make good, quality and nice
RPM(s), which I have to install and and "at the drop of the hat" run
into GNOME Settings and setup fingerprint? It will help me and many
XPS 13 users, because according to reviews, this computer is very
good for running Linux (not that one I have, which is Ok, but not
very good).
I think this is more suited to rpmfusion since it uses a proprietary
binary blob. If so, you should ask on one of the lists there. See the
possible mailing lists here.
