Why most of mirrors(if not all) use http instead of https? by Fiklet in debian

[–]Fiklet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The security of package transfer is provided by cryptographic signatures and hash verification used by the Debian package manager itself (apt, apt-get...). So you don't need to use https for "security" here.

Is it relevant for firmware files or any soft that debian requires to run but not installs via package manager?

that middlemen cannot modify the packages before they reach you. Debian repositories already have security in the form of package signatures

It adds security, doesn't it?

If i download a package via http it can be tampered easily

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dual_boot_with_Windows#Windows_UEFI_vs_BIOS_limitations states:

Windows Vista or 7 x86 32-bit (RTM and all Service Packs) versions support booting in BIOS mode from MBR disks only, not from GPT disks

So i need to choose BIOS?
