Fortunately there's a FLOSS alternative: TPM with Heads, https://osresearch.net/. Works for me.

What hardware do you use the most recent supported seems like the Librem offerings. Which are intel 10th gen. Otherwise it’s gets pretty ancient

Indeed I'm using a Librem laptop with Pureboot. Librem 14v1 has been discontinued, Purism is developing the second version, hopefully with a newer CPU.

why not secure boot with your own keys?

... granted, effectively removing Microsoft keys is a pain on some consumer devices, but still easier than this

My first encounter with UEFI turned out to be quite expensive because UEFI was way too new and easy to brick. I guess things are better now, but toying around with this might still be a risk not worth taking as a consumer.

A bit. But compared to BIOS is still crap. The main advantage of UEFI over BIOS is that it offers RCE. /s

Do most UEFI allow for the "R" in RCE?
