That's a wide swath and TPM 1.2 was finalized in 2011, saying "of course" was perfectly fair. It's one thing to say that such a device, perhaps a specific revision from a specific manufacturer, might not be supported on a specific release of an even more specific distribution... but that wasn't the case.
Trolling and quibbling over a common colloquialism such as using the phrase "of course" is not constructive.
- Zurrrrr 4y agolol I'm not wrong, but this is so silly. What's not constructive is you really needing to have the last word. If you don't want to 'quibble', don't reply. I'll just say this. Saying 'of course' that an obscure OSS OS (and yes, OBSD IS obscure, and anyone not being emotional should be able to admit that) having full hardware support is silly, when so many similar OS projects still don't have support for much hardware. Besides, TPM is at version 2 now which was announced in 2014, so where is the OBSD support for TPM 2.0? Why does it not support it? Saying 'of course' it supports it was indeed silly when it doesn't support the more recent spec which is still 9 years old and isn't backwards compatible...
- dinom 4y agoOk, congratulations... you're right. You can can have the last word instead. I must have said "OpenBSD fully supports every piece of hardware known to man" and missed it. I sincerely apologize for that. You, in no way, tried to put words into my mouth. And here I thought I was merely stating that there is some Unix variant somewhere on this planet that supports a TPM, any TPM. I'm a boob; sincere apologies. You've made the world a much better place!
