So when I update, does it go over tor? or am I going to have to do more like this https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Onionizing_Repositories ? I noticed it was under this tor+https but is that also applying for updates manually through the terminal?
Apt is configured to download software updates from the Debian and Kicksecure repositories over TOR by default. See:
By default, non-onion repos are used since these are more reliable. This should not present a security or privacy risk for the end user. Onionizing repositories uses a Tor hidden service instead of going through an exit node, which is less reliable but comes with some additional security benefits.

TY @arraybolt3, would you say stay as it is or go for the other way? Im just trying to make it as secure as possible.
I see the “Onionizing repositories uses a Tor hidden service instead of going through an exit node, which is less reliable but comes with some additional security benefits.”
From your prospective would you just leave it as default setup or change it to the pure tor?
“Wiki is the Primary Source of Information vs Forums
The goal of the wiki is to provide an up-to-date source of information. Should that not be possible, at least appropriate notices will be posted on top of the wiki page. In no case are users expected to read long forum threads and find instructions in forum posts on how to perform actions such as installing applications. This is because posts are seldom edited and kept up-to-date due to forums being a different medium of information sharing than a wiki. Users are advised to view the wiki as the primary source of information.
The forums are used to ask for clarifications in case wiki instructions are unclear. The goal of forum discussions should be, if possible, on topic and appropriate, and eventually result in an improved wiki page on that topic. Forum posts will likely and inevitably be outdated over time. It’s better to check if the related wiki page has been updated meanwhile.
The wiki should always provide better instructions because collaborative editing of the wiki should result in higher quality documentation. Anyone can contribute. Improve the Documentation / Edit the Kicksecure Wiki.

All be sure to dive into this also, TY you guys for all your hard work.
