Im really confused why people think TPM needs to be involved in anyway when using LUKS.

Because it's convenient

Its not though, it requires a ton of extra work to set up, isn't necessary, doesn't allow you to do anything you can't do without it.

You didn’t even know what it was how exactly do you know how much work it is to implement? Its about to be built into the Ubuntu installer.

That's false. It allows you to not need a password to unlock the volume at boot.

They correctly point out elsewhere that you could just store the unlock on an unencrypted portion of drive itself.

Yes, I know.

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.
