I solved slow internet issue but i think i did something wrong?

sv flag

so, i had slow internet for 2 days, i tried everything i could find until i found by casuality some git driver, so i decided to try, i have a usb dongle using driver rl8188eu, with this driver i had 100kb/s max download speed, and i installed [this one][1], which is rl8188eus, yet in the lshw -c networks shows 8188eu, which theoretically is blacklisted with echo 'blacklist r8188eu'|sudo tee -a '/etc/modprobe.d/realtek.conf', the .conf only have that line that i added, nothing more, that looks weird too

For the installation i just did git clone and then sudo make and sudo make install, the thing is, first time i did it it wasnt nothing like this, first time the make actually made something yet the make install i think looks the same, but when it worked i got hyped and made a sudo apt upgrade because i had fast internet so i said why not (i guess i updated something that i shouldnt?), now it works but this seems broken, i feel like i did something wrong, but it works, at least for now. So if you guys see something weird or could give me some guidance i would appreciate, is my first time with ubuntu and ive been for 2 days trying to have good internet speed, now i have it but feels wrong lol, thanks!

Edit: I realized that now the driver in lshw iss only "8188eu" i think before it was "r8188eu", so maybe isnt that bad? [1]: https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8188eus

There is nothing wrong at all. The driver that you git cloned and installed is named 8188eu. The driver that comes by default in recent Ubuntu versions is called r8188eu. They are different and have different names.

You built and installed 8188eu and blacklisted r8188eu so that it wouldn't also load and conflict.

Please note that whenever Update Manager installs a later kernel version, after the requested reboot, you must recompile the driver:

cd ~/Desktop/asdsasd/rtl8188eus
make clean
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe 8188eu

Please retain these instructions for that time.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
