TPM on my motherboard is forever disabled and I’m going down with the Windows 10 ship. Another couple years and Proton will be even better than it already is.

I'm done with windows as soon as Linux can support HDR.

KDE neon does, but for games it takes some work on your side to enable. I'm dual booting that alongside win 11.

How much work is typically required? What kinds of tasks are needed?

Considering it's bleeding edge, it's probably pretty frustrating to do atm, I'd wait a little bit longer for proper HDR support down the software stack

Assuming that's a choice and not a hardward limitation, why?

Windows 11 won't install if it can't find a TPM chip, so disabling it means you won't get stealth-upgraded to 11 when you're least expecting it.

If that's just to stop W11 that's stupid. TPM chips are security related. Disabling them has some serious drawbacks.

Now there are discussion on if you'd even want a TPM chip or not, and if you choose not to use it for such reasons it may be a well thought out decision. Then you won't hear me complain. But to trow out security components just to prevent an update, without looking at the possible consequences, is stupid. There are better ways to prevent that anyways.
