"Pragmatically speaking ..." ;-) Seriously, I think TPM mostly makes
sense with VMs. People who write programs are generally going to be
very unhappy with the amount of kissing up to the TPM they have to
do.
Like, on Mac every time LLVM releases a new version of the debugger I
have to go through the self-signing dance. So far I have been
satisfied with the results every time (there really are new features
or performance improvements), but it's infrequent enough that I have
no memory of the procedure, let alone muscle memory.
Indeed. I have no particular interest in TPM as such. My original
question was aimed at anticipating possible issues with VMs and Windows
11 if I ever get round to installing it, but that seems to be resolved.
Yes, I installed Windows 11 in a VM just fine with an emulated TPM. I don't actually use
Windows all that much. But, for what I use it Windows 11 does seem to do it better.
I only use it mainly for the WebATM of the Taiwan Post Office Bank. In Windows 10 I had to get the
sequence just right for plugging in the USB smart card reader and inserting my bank
card.
Still sucks that the Post Office doesn't support Linux. :-(
