Meanwhile OEM s**k - with that stupid google licensing etc no one is telling
you whats in the device, or how it would boot etc. It's like the M$ BS from
the 80s. + handheld devices got more and more complicated with all those
SoC or all in one chips - without a driver you are lost (like in the 80s).

TDE is not that much an issue now I guess - as soon as you can boot linux -
this is the challenge now IMO.
The handheld devices beat from performance perspective the desktops from 10y
ago already.

Respect for your work, I wish you luck!
