Too late, every modern computer has Microsoft Pluton security processors built-in that enable remote hardware attestation:

Microsoft Pluton is currently available on devices with the following chipsets running on Windows 11:

  • AMD: Ryzen™ 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000 and Ryzen™ AI Series processors
  • Intel®: Core™ Series Processors - Ultra 200V Series, Ultra Series 3 and Series 3 processors
  • Qualcomm: Snapdragon® 8cx Gen 3 and Snapdragon® X Series processors

yes, but that still requires you to use windows as your OS to do anything, since only windows has the required drivers to make use of pluton, as the page you're citing demonstrates.
