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.

To be fair there are probably many different ways to solve the problem. I'm somewhat experienced with Linux and I've attempted seeing up TPM LUKS decryption on boot. It's certainly not easy or at least wasn't when I tried. For non experienced people it's easier to just enter the password at boot and enable auto login. Then you get the security, software, ethics, or licensing debates that accompany most Linux discussions.
I mean it's somewhat of a meme. But XY-Problems are super common. I also sometimes learned something new and that my approach wasn't the best and I'm kinda experienced with Linux. It's usually more the annoying and stupid people who don't want to explain what they're trying to achieve even if asked and insist on going with the path they've chosen without listening to advice.... On the other hand it's a balance. There are also nerds without social skills who don't explain things well. But in my experience it's frequently XY-Problems and the people asking for advice not listening.
