    it has been known for years that the defaults on windows are insufficient, and they don’t make it easy to switch to a password prompt at boot time (though it is possible)

    I was really intrigued when I heard openSUSE Aeon would be defaulting to automatic TPM unlocking. I thought it would be nice, it just boots into my login screen and that’s handy since I’d just have to write one password.

    Then I realized I can just set my account to autologin and I’ll still have to write just one password (encryption) with the added benefit that it doesn’t automatically unlock the system. Oh well
