Will enabling my TPM to satiate Papa Satya have side effects for my Linux install? (lemmy.yachts)

I have a dual boot machine with openSUSE Tumbleweed and Windows 10 installed on separate drives. I use the Windows install solely for gaming.

With Windows 10 EOL coming soon, I would rather update to Windows 11 then give Michaelsoft money, but that would involve enabling my TPM (I already have secure boot enabled). Is this gonna cause any side effects in my Linux install?

I'd just move my baremetal OS to Linux full-time and run Windows in a VM for the few things which don't run well or at all in Linux either natively or through WINE if you can, but that's just me.

Although since you can't ditch it completely because you play a lot of kernel anticheat-ridden games, you'll pretty much have to dual-boot as most kernel anticheats block VMs, or ideally in this case, just build a dedicated Windows box for those games and separate them as far as possible from your main system, and put Linux on your main system.
