Is thinkpad t480 need proprietary drivers?
I want try to install arch(artix) linux for my future t480, but I don't know if it needs linux-firmware package? for good work?

No, you just install the OS and make sure everything works. If you find a specific device not working, then start looking for answers. Linux isn't like Windows in that you have to install drivers for every device individually. Most are in the kernel already, so you just install and go.

Idk what's up with your fingerprint rant, but the drivers for that have been out for years. Not official ofc, but it works better than in windows.
The issue is that it's essentially useless because Linux has no support for any type of fingerprint reader, so you can maybe set up your DM to log you in.
