I wonder which of these tools Ubuntu is using - since they enabled TPM-backed encryption (Bitlocker-style) in 23.10. https://ubuntu.com/blog/tpm-backed-full-disk-encryption-is-c...

I am not a huge fan of relying on this, I cannot recall numer of times where I had to recover my files from live USB or by plugging my drive into another PC - both of which will get difficult to do when my true password sits in TPM on the (potentially bricked) motherboard. But I guess that if it can be used in addition to regular password (e.g. use regular password when TPM is missing, use PIN if it works) then it's fine
