CalicosineIf for some reason you find that you need it for something and you don't trust it to run bare metal and don't want to/can't use a TPM (whether physical or firmware in the CPU), you can emulate one with "swtpm" and adding an emulated TPM in Virt-Manager. In other news, my stuff like guinget not having the latest features in a released version was eating at me and I'm going to tolerate Windows 11 long enough to get those out, plus it helps for testing.
Me using it in a VM doesn't mean I endorse it, still installed it offline and stuff.
If you look at it as a quirky, oddball, corporate Linux DE, it's surprisingly less painful. That doesn't mean it should be acceptable.
