Quick and dirty TLDR for Debian/Ubuntu:

See Supported Devices paragraph

You can git clone https://github.com/tcsenpai/goodix-debian-linux-drivers-fingerprint-by-dell, navigate to extracted and your version (see #Supported devices) and copy the contained files in the exact same file structure in your system (creating folders if needed).

Note: this method is quite experimental, please back up anything you may overwrite.
