Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Is it possible to run a Windows 11 Virtual Machine on Linux?
Or you can just add a virtual tpm device in virt-manager while setting up the vm using swtpm. It seems to ha e packages on most major distro's.
-
Creating a Qemu Windows 10 VM on Linux
If you want Windows 11 instead for whatever reason, swtpm can emulate a TPM chip for QEMU to use.

Work Revived On Parallel CPU Bring-Up To Boot Linux Faster On Large Systems/Servers
You can find the source of software TPM implementations which abide to the official spec such as: https://github.com/stefanberger/swtpm but that has no real bearings on the TPM used on real hardware

Windows 11's current .iso file not working on qemu.
I install swtpm and in virt-manager add a TPM 2.0 emulated device and set the secure boot image before I install. This seems to work well enough.

Ryzen 7 [email protected], 32 GB RAM... I'm officially ditching Windows
I don't know either, but apparently Microsoft didn't guarantee that 'unsupported' systems would continue to receive system updates. I just use a QEMU VM and swtpm.

Fedora considers deprecating legacy BIOS
Seems there are two such projects for that:

TPM using qemu?
This should work: https://github.com/stefanberger/swtpm/wiki
-
Tpm simulator?
Linux has several TPM emulators. This one is probably the most popular. But here's another for TPM 1.2 only. The main use-case is to emulate TPMs for use with Virtual Machine guests.

swtpm-localca exit with status 256:
Other GitHub posts from previous versions seem to have the issue described here but maybe I missed something, https://github.com/stefanberger/swtpm/issues/572 I'm on an arch install and just installed it from pacman.

Show HN: SSH-tpm-agent – SSH agent for TPMs
No, this isn't true nor correct.
Secure Boot and TPM do offer tangible security benefits and is security features you can take ownership of.
Secure Boot allows your own key hierarchy, and TPM allows you to take ownership.
The linked boot disk isn't really proof that Secure Boot is useless. If you don't set a MOKManager password (as you should), and you change the security state of the machine while present at the keyboard. Yes you can boot things.
This is intended to make sure people can actually decide to trust things. And having insecure defaults makes this less useful. Not very surprising.
TPMs could also prevent attacks like this on your machine.
Incidentally I've invested quite a bit of time in making user-friendly Secure Boot tooling as well. https://github.com/Foxboron/sbctl

Enabling secure boot for your Arch installation is very easy now with the "sbctl" tool
No problem! The sbctl package ships with a pretty extensive hook out of the box (https://github.com/Foxboron/sbctl/blob/master/contrib/pacman/ZZ-sbctl.hook). It's been very reliable for automatically resigning .efi executables after updates for me.
-
sbctl fails to find EFI system partition
sbctl verify returns failed to find EFI system partition despite it definitely is there. It's the same issue as this but remounting or restarting doesn't fix it.

[Kinoite/Silverblue]Decrypt LUKS volumes with a TPM on Fedora 35+

-
Setting up secure boot while dual booting Windows 11 and Arch Linux
By far the easiest is to use sbctl to generate, install and use keys to sign your efi images. You can use mkinitcpio to build the unified kernels automatically and a pacman trigger to rerun the sbctl signing when the kernel is updated. Pretty straightforward (once you've done it once).

Intel OEM Private Key Leak: A Blow to UEFI Secure Boot Security
The question is whether you have any UEFI drivers or not. If they're in the ESP you can just look there to check, but UEFI drivers can also be loaded from PCI cards or baked in the firmware itself.
If you're using a TPM for Secure Boot, you can use the command in https://github.com/Foxboron/sbctl/wiki/FAQ#option-rom to know for sure.
