    Please ignore the previous post. It has absolutely nothing to do with the Deepin Control Center.

    The fact is Goodix fingerprint readers are botoriously dificult to use in Linux, that's the nature of proprietary drivers (i.e. closed-source).

    Back in 2021 "something" started to crop up as explained in this AskUbuntu answer. Also this may work but don't keep your hopes high. Better to use a vendor's packaged driver anyway. Lenovo released Linux drivers for this firngerprint reader for some selected laptop models. I suggest you check its drivers' section before anything else.

    I checked my model but unfortunately my lenovo laptop doesnt have linux driver for fingerprint sensor. Thanks for helping

    It's unfortunate.

    This seems to confirm only one fingerprint reader of all the Thinkpad E14 product family and generations (not Goodix) has proper support (with a Lenovo's driver): https://github.com/ramaureirac/thinkpad-e14-linux/blob/main/tweaks/fingerprint/README.md

    In post #3, "botoriously" should have been written as "notoriously".
