Stop using fprintd (Fingerprint) on Fedora
I don't use the fingerprint feature on Fedora. I see sometimes the OS doesn't wake up from sleep keeping the black screen. My Framework Laptop has both turn on/off and fingerprint scanner on the same button. So, I decided to stop using the fingerprint.
So, how to disable it? It's simple. Just delete the RPM package.
