BaronHK's Rants [09:49] schestowitz the TPM.

    [09:49] schestowitz

    Essentially, what Garrett is saying is that when you enable Microsofts 3rd Party UEFI CA certificate, which is what the shim that enables Security Theater Boot to work on GNU/Linux, is signed with, that the TPM will refuse to decrypt your Bitlocker volumes. Not that this could be any sort of an inconvenience. Right?

    [09:49] schestowitz

    The TPM freaking out is a problem I ran into when I applied an official Lenovo UEFI update for March of 2021 on my ThinkBook 15 ITL Gen2.

    [09:49] schestowitz

    There was no warning that this was even possibly going to happen, just like it seems there was no warning on Garretts laptop that enabling that certificate would destroy Windows and cause data loss due to the TPM and Bitlocker.
