I have been using my Thinkpad for a little bit now and I have noticed that the fingerprint sensor does not work most of the time. Could this be a driver problem? If so how would I fix it? I could only find drivers for Windows on the Lenovo Support site. I was wondering if there is something I can do to make it work better (or at all).

Linux has its own solution - there are several thread in this forum about it. This is one of them.
To make a long story short. Open a terminal and type:
sudo apt install -y fprintd libpam-fprintd
Then you need to enroll your fingers:
sudo fprintd-enroll
Check if you need to enable pam-auth-update - but this you should understand before executing it.
