The TPM chip is the issue here, and not a requirement under Linux.

TPM chip is a decade old, built into all but shit laptops, and is a net positive for overall system security.

Id argue it's more than not required under Linux, it's barely supported under Linux and is a giant pain to get working.

See that's where you're wrong though, because my computer does have a TPM chip and still can't run Win11. That's because Microsoft locked them down to v2.0 or newer ones and mine's only a v1.2 chip.
