I honestly haven’t found any good reading material other then the arch wiki which indeed vaguely outlines pros and cons, and I was wondering if the only significant advantage Is that you dont have go type your password in… Which ita a big advantage if you dont mind cold boot attacks … Also automatic login Is handy if you dont mind privacy at all … What do you think?

    I wouldn’t say using TPM compromises your privacy or security. It can act as an additional layer of protection where your PC boots only when your basic settings are unaltered. You can still have FDE with password and TPM if TPM sniffing is your concern.

    Still, I don’t use it because I like my stuff accessible and not locked when I dual boot.
