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.

What about it do you not trust, out of curiosity? And how do you ensure OS integrity if not using TPM?
TPM is great on paper, but in practice, there was little planning to ensure that cryptographic keys would be safeguarded by hardware manufacturers, and that's exactly what happened. Now TPM is considered weak as a means of securing data.
