I've tried both and ~/.local/bin tends to be used by a bunch of tools to install their own binaries/scripts so depending on what you use it can become very messy (which did happen in my case). I used to have a ~/Documents/Scripts directory in my $PATH and that was much cleaner than my current setup so that's what I'd recommend, especially if you want to use Git with it! :)

Sometimes it's plug-n-play and everything works great. Sometimes you press the update Nvidia drivers button on your Ubuntu work computer and then need to tell IT you bricked your OS. YMMV

No worries Mickey Mice! Hopefully you won't face any more big hardware issues after that ^^'

Good luck in your Linux journey! :)

21:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM4352 802.11ac Dual Band Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03)

It's probably related to this recent issue

In my experience Broadcom on Linux is a bad omen, second only to Nvidia. If you can, I'd recommend switching your Wi-Fi card for one that has better Linux support (e.g. "TP-Link Archer TX3000E" or anything that uses an Intel chip inside really since support for them is handled directly by Intel and integrated into Linux's source code). Good luck! :)

Make sure that your device is not 'rooted'. If the operating system is an Android variant (also called a 'custom ROM'), such as LineageOS or Pixel Experience, then the wero app can’t be installed for security reasons.

(cf. https://support.wero-wallet.eu/hc/en-us/articles/25599098295313-I-m-seeing-this-error-message-Your-device-does-not-meet-our-security-requirements)

I can't use it but it looks neat! I hope these companies will one day realise that requiring the user's device to be an opaque jail controlled by a usually foreign third-party isn't good security practice :/
