i dont see the problem, more software better and people can install snaps in all distros

And when did i said it was a problem?

My installation went great up until I rebooted . My clean install of Win 11 was delisted from the UEFI bios. Should have stayed on 22.04 until the point release. New installer must not have gotten much dual boot testing.

could you elaborate on that, please? that was a feature I was looking forward too the most, does it work, does it work sometimes or not at all? i havent tried to do the clean install of the newest ubuntu yet.

I tested it on my desktop (ASUS X670E Crosshair Hero | R9 7950X) and my primary laptop (Dell XPS 15 9530) and it didn't work on either. Both wanted a recovery key on first boot.

I did try it on a second laptop I had and it does work. So it may work for you, but it's inconsistent.

Interesting I hadn't looked for TPM bug reports. One thing I know is that leaving any of those related settings in the bios left to the default of auto is basically playing Russian roulette when dual booting. I have them on enabled saved to my bios profile 1st thing I restore after a bios update.

Sheesh, I had enabled flatpack before I logged out the other day did not set as default. Rebooted into it Discover notified me about system updates turned out it was some Flatpack version of Mesa from unknown source. Talk about safety!
