I was really intrigued when I heard openSUSE Aeon would be defaulting to automatic TPM unlocking. I thought it would be nice, it just boots into my login screen and that's handy since I'd just have to write one password (instead of writing luks unlocking password and my login password, I would just write the login password).

Then I realized I can just set my account to autologin and I'll still have to write just one password (luks) with the added benefit that it doesn't automatically unlock/decrypt the system. Oh well.
