oh, I don't use aem but I thought it was the other way around, thought it was for uefi...lol Should be already understood you need tpm, but I don't think nescessarily txt. Man, I always learn things make me like the itl team so much they aren't influenced by anything. I don't understand why people want to use uefi if not using secure boot. I know eventually Qubes will have to fully support uefi and legacy boot gonna be old news cause they will have no choice from hardware manufactures. But is there any other benefits? To me I see it as making my machine more vulnerable without any benefits but headache. You say GPT is that cause you running windows? Well when you do decide to go to Qubes-os only machine reformat the drive and hope for the best. If you ever update your pc hardware though don't put anything else on it. And your Hardware should be safe for at least a year lol. I'm starting to think real security is only for rich people. but 1-2 years reasonable secure pc is pretty good compared to windows. which I would give 1-2 months. and linux which is shot in one day.
