For those out of the loop, some AMD users have been suffering from stuttering issues caused by the AMD fTPM random number generator. A firmware/BIOS update appears to fix the issue for some users, but not others, leading to more bug reports being sent in. Last week, Linus Torvalds said “let’s just disable the stupid fTPM hwrnd thing”, and, as of today the Linux kernel has gone ahead and blanket disabled RNG use for all current AMD fTPMs.

    TPM is not necessary for Windows 11.

    I have a Windows 11 partition and fTPM is disabled in UEFI. Windows complains that “My computer doesn’t meet the requirements to update to Windows 11” on the update menu, but there’s no issue.
