Welcome to face-unlock
v2.0.0! plasma-face-unlock has a new name, because it no longer needs Plasma: it now works on GNOME, Hyprland and Niri too.
🚨 Breaking changes
- plasma-face-unlock is now called face-unlock, and so is the command. Your faces and settings move over on their own.
- On Arch,
yay -S face-unlockreplaces the old package. - On Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu the repository moved too. Remove the old
plasma-face-unlockrepository file and add the new one from the install steps.
Highlights
- Works on GNOME, Hyprland and Niri
- Unlock hyprlock, swaylock, gtklock and waylock with your face
- A lock screen of its own, with the bubble and your wallpaper
- 12 new languages
- A warning when no polkit agent runs
