    You forgot the “best” part, which is that requiring TPM 2.0 is purely self-serving for Microsoft in that it serves no purpose but to make it more difficult to run non-Windows OSs on the hardware in the future.

    Nobody needs a TPM except for the copyright cartel trying to destroy computer owners’ property rights.

      Oh I mean, I thought that was implied, but yeah, go off about it, it fucking sucks!

      EDIT: In response to your edit. ACKSHUALLY the TPM requirement is a big deal for corporations, because it does help increase corporate security. The thing is, the average user doesn’t actually need that extra security so much and will likely never use it so making it a requirement for the consumer-level Windows is abject bullshit.

      I upgraded my CPU in preparation for 11 but have since installed Linux instead. It seems like you’re saying simply having a TPM makes it harder to use other OSs?

        TPM doesn’t make running linux harder. People just have their biases and will happily spew BS as long as it goes with their biases.
