I mean they don’t understand SW, Licenses and Git. It’s all out there now…

You can install shit in Windows too, it is exactly the same case when grandma installs too many toolbars in Internet Explorer 6. No one is warning you there that you might be installing malware.

What I mean is that there are already curated repositories for each distro that can be accessed easily by the package manager. If you go outside of your package manager and repos, gloves are off, you better know what you are doing.

Regarding custom ROMs, since you brought it up and being a custom ROM enthusiast, there are still a lot of complaints, nastiness and pressure from the users similar to this. Installing a ROM has definitely a higher knowledge barrier and that makes you aware of the risks, also you will brick your phone before you are able to install a ROM… if you don’t know what you are doing.

Finally, the developer here in this very lemmy post mentions that the OP of that bug report was working with them in order to solve the issue. The one on the screenshot was just a random dude unnecessarily being rude. Free software is usually delivered as is with no warranties, specifically small projects and libraries.

Thanks for coming to my TED.talk

There is always a risk using libraries from others. If you install something without knowing what you are doing and without considering the risks, you should not be installing it.

Yes, but isn’t the 40Mbps a bottleneck? If I have 3 devices with Netflix all at 4k (which supposedly uses 25Mbps) while gaming, won’t the latency be affected due to the traffic on the line?.

Why do you need to connect over your Landlord’s router, for privacy I would recommend using a VPN but I digress.

Anyway, you can just measure your speed/latency to any near server. I would just Ookla’s speed test or any game that has that functionality.

40Mbps is not really much so unless the other devices are using the internet connection constantly you are at no risk. You could also limit other devices speed or set QoS so your PC or console has priority.

This is based on my empirical knowledge, so if anyone can correct me please do so.
