I think you are wildly disconnected from "most users" if you think most users care about who knows what Linux packages they're downloading, or are at risk of having that ability removed based on MITM inspection of their HTTP traffic.
- Avamander 3y agoI think it's the exact opposite at play here. There are many countries with millions of people, thousands of Debian(-like) users that get MITMed constantly. There are a few organisations where such MITM is useful and someone provides caching. The cons heavily outweigh the risks but you're in a privileged situation.
