On Ubuntu 16.04:
sudo apt install libpam-fprintd
Optionally, also install fprintd-demo. You’ll have to run fprintd_demo as root for it to access the fingerprint scanning device.
To store your fingerprint and enable use of the fingerprint scanner:
fprintd-enroll
Note, run fprintd-enroll as your user account, not root.

That’s it. The log-in screen will ask you to swipe your finger rather than use a password, but you’ll still have to click “log in” after you do so. Sudo, both command line and graphical, will also ask to swipe, but you won’t have to do anything else.

1. Start Disk Management (called “Create and format hard disk partitions, Control panel” on the start menu)
2. Right-click on the Windows NTFS partition and select Shrink Volume.
   1. The maximum shrink is the default, though the volume will still be a lot larger than the space used by Windows. In this case, the Windows partition was 237 GB before and 121 GB after, even though Windows reports C: was using only 31 GB.
