    Thank god my PC doesn’t have a TPM.

    Otherwise, I am just waiting for some industrial software to be usable on Linux (they’re migrating now!) so I can finally drop Windows for good.

      if you have a decent cpu it probably has a tpm, which is pretty useful in both windows and linux. like secure passwordless (or data-at-rest) drive encryption

        What advantage does a TPM chip hold for me as a user? In most cases it seems to be used to take control away from me.
