Ubuntu's TPM encryption switches to snap kernel that blocks deb kernel packages

That snap-based TPM setup also breaks spectacularly. I would highly recommend people using something else entirely.

Basically if any bug surfaces in the encryption setup snap permanently loses the ability to update kernel, which, if you care about security, means the system has to be reinstalled to resume receiving kernel bug fixes. The issue is in "Wishlist".
