From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

From 6.4.9 onwards, TPM is broken as is LTS 6.1.46. A step downgrade from these versions restores TPM.

This shit again... I moved to LTS kernel exactly because of this bug and now it reached LTS kernel as well...

What's a good usecase for TPM in Linux?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

You can't trust any full disk encryption without it because only a TPM can verify that your bootloader and initrd are not compromised.
