    Im really confused why people think TPM needs to be involved in anyway when using LUKS.

    Because it’s convenient

      Its not though, it requires a ton of extra work to set up, isn’t necessary, doesn’t allow you to do anything you can’t do without it.

        You didn’t even know what it was how exactly do you know how much work it is to implement? Its about to be built into the Ubuntu installer.

        That’s false. It allows you to not need a password to unlock the volume at boot.

          They correctly point out elsewhere that you could just store the unlock on an unencrypted portion of drive itself.

          Yes, I know.
