Linux

TPM is basically never for your benefit. It's becoming a requirement because Microsoft is going to one day say "you can only run apps installed from the Windows Store, because everything else is insecure" and lock down the software market. Valve knows this which is why they're going so hard on the Steam Deck and Linux.

I love how Torvalds always calls it like he sees it.

I always just kill my TPM chip. It's so obvious tpm will be used in the future for application offline DRM. They will executed encrypted operations under the TPM veil and decompilers will become unusable.

Would love this. I'm still getting the ftpm stutters and there's no way to disable it in my motherboards bios.

Based linus. Kill it, it's pointless

I've had a weird system-wide stutter for months and the usual googling and troubleshooting didn't help.. omg. This might be it. Thank you Linus and thank you op.

good thing my Ryzen 1000 series motherboard doesn't even have TPM....I need to upgrade lool

What is that needle with a ball stuck onto it? In the photograph. Someone please help.

I agree. If it doesn't work, disable it until it's fixed
