TPM provides zero practical security

TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is as useful for preventing real attackers as the TSA is at preventing real terrorists. The architecture is fundamentally flawed and most existing implementations are completely broken. I thought this argument was settled decades ago[1] when "trusted computing" was introduced mostly as a way to provide DRM and ownership capabilities to organizations. It has largely failed to impact the consumer market when it was introduced back in the early 2000s. However, recently there seems to be a movement by certain parties to reintroduce this failed product back to the market. Microsoft argues that in order to use Windows 11, you need TPM 2.0 compatible hardware because[2]:

How to install Unity3D on Ubuntu based Linux distros (Kubuntu, Xubuntu, POP_OS, Mint, Neon, Zorin, etc.).

This guide details how to install UnityHub, Unity, VS Code and how to get full C# support with IntelliSense and debugging.

Tested on Kubuntu 22.04.

Installing Unity Hub

Unity Hub won't run on Ubuntu newer than 20.04 because it depends on an outdated libssl. We need to manually install the package from 20.04:

Jailbreak-Firefox

This script allows you to install unsigned extensions (ones that aren't approved by Mozilla) on normal Firefox builds and the official Snap! That's right, no "Firefox Developer Edition" nonsense required!

⚠️ Disclaimer ⚠️

This script is not well tested, like at all. This script might break things, possibly important things. You should probably take a backup of your Firefox profile before using it. You have been warned.

Dependencies

sudo apt install -y curl unzip zip
# Only needed when jailbreaking the Snap

Because cross-compiling binaries for Windows is easier than building natively

I want Microsoft to do better, want Windows to be a decent development platform-and yet, I constantly see Microsoft playing the open source game: advertising how open-source and developer friendly they are - only to crush developers under the heel of the corporate behemoth's boot.

The people who work at Microsoft are amazing, kind, talented individuals. This is aimed at the company's leadership, who I feel has on many occassions crushed myself and other developers under. It's a plea for help.

The source of truth for the 'open source' C#, C++, Rust, and other Windows SDKs is proprietary

You probably haven't heard of it before, but if you've ever used win32 API bindings in C#, C++, Rust, or other languages, odds are they were generated from a repository called microsoft/win32metadata.
