Please clarify and elaborate on your question.

It’s not clear (to me) what problem you are trying to solve (or what problem with apt you are alluding to) and the question feels rather unformed.

I just update topic

sorry still feels rather odd, What exactly are you concerned about apt when it comes to privacy issue?

Oh , I just think it what I found

I found doas in few months ago , and I remember see some article said apt have some privacy problems and suggest change to doas in that’s time

today I use virtual test Kickscure , and I remember this thing

Is this when they were still using HTTP instead of HTTPS for downloading packages? I am pretty sure they fixed this POTENTIAL issue with APT 1.4 so it could no longer be potentially intercepted.

Edit: I am not an expert but also isn’t doas a sudo alternative not apt?

This is completely understandable I have used Linux on and off the last few years.

From my understanding back in 2019 there was an issue that can be found here (http redirect?)

This was rectified with updates and if you only use official repo with https then it should be ok. I would not use PPAs or unofficial repo to avoid possible leakage of system information or user configuration.

I am not certain metadata is exchanged even with https so I would also recommend using a VPN or Tor to better hide you as a user.

yeah , you are right

I just see a post about sudo alternative doas’s thing

I will continue use sudo
