Howdy installation didn't work.
What i've done:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:boltgolt/howdy
sudo apt update
sudo apt install howdy

-------- Installation failed ------------

sudo apt install python3
sudo apt remove howdy
sudo apt purge howdy
sudo apt autoremove
sudo reboot

sudo apt-get install howdy
-------- Install failed -------------------

After detection, Howdy knows how certain it is that the match is correct.
How certain Howdy needs to be before authenticating you can be customized.

F: Fast.
Allows more fuzzy matches, but speeds up the scanning process greatly.

B: Balanced.
Still relatively quick detection, but might not log you in when further away.

S: Secure.
The safest option, but will take much longer to authenticate you.

You can always change this setting in the config.
