I use PopOS and I wonder does the TPM processor in my CPU get used for anything out of the box? If not, what could it be used for? Have you guys got practical advice?

I'm not aware of any consumer distros that use TPM enrollment for anything out of the box, though the tools may be present.

Have a look at how Clevis works. That will give you an idea of how easy it is to work tish TPM in Linux.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
