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 don’t care about TPM at all on my personal systems.

TPM is not only used by the system encryption. But no i do not use it for it. Not because of privacy, cause of security reasons.

In the context of Full Disk Encryption, to this day I don’t understand why I’d use it over just typing my password at boot

Would like to, but never figured out how to get the TPM 1.2 chip in my X230 to work with cryptsetup. Everything seems to be written for TPM 2.0 only.
