minus-squareBlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·edit-22 years agoUbuntu (on which Pop!_OS is based) only added support for TPM disk encryption in Ubuntu 23.10, so my guess is that you’ll have to wait for Pop!_OS 24.04 Note that, as I understand it, using TPM will only protect data on your encrypted disk if it is removed from your computer.
