But only to some point. First of all "reinstalling your Linux" is not precisely a trivial operation, and secondly, in today's world it's actually not really going to suffice in many ways. That's because it's not sufficient to erase your HDD an reinitialize it. There's more state to reset. One of them in particular is the TPM: local key material is derived from or protected by a "seed" key stored on the TPM.
