I installed Linux Mint on my wife's ageing Thinkpad (2016, new battery is en route but everything else works fine). Windows would struggle to even start its own file explorer (lol), so I said no more of that bullshit.

She is happy with it, apart from ProNote not working (she uses the web client instead).

What i wonder, is:

TPM a black box and then, why should i trust it
if not, why not just use RAM as protected memory instead?

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

Ram can't run their blackbox code. The goal is a full processor running non inspectable code. The end of the PC.

Microsoft really playing into the bit. This is all just hype for Windows 12
