Because changing any hardware will flip the tpm and require a password. If they stole the hard drive, it'd be encrypted. Basically I'm protecting on if they rip out the harddrive lol.
My arch install took some setup to get it specifically right for me, still trying to figure out the final touches. I have the entire thing encrypted and under btrfs sub-partitions. I set up secure boot as well and added it to my tpm. Last thing I got to do is set it up so it automatically decrypts on boot without a password. I've been liking this setup over my Fedora setup. I have to worry about smaller breakage every so often, but with Fedora I had to worry about big breakage every major version. Moving most of what I can to flatpak mitigated a lot of that though. I'm too lazy to replicate my arch setup on my laptop so that's just sticking with Fedora until I decide it should run something else.
DDG is still really good, and DDG isn't Bing just because it includes it's results as well. I mainly use DDG and then try Google if I can't find my result, but 90% of the time DDG finds it just fine.
Why do you hate people having control over their own body so much?
