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 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.
How do you kill your TPM chip?
Level 1, turn off in bios
Level 2, desolder from motherboard
Level 3, remove cpu pins related to tpm
Level 4, decap cpu, laser off tpm bus or blocks
