Not discrediting Open Source Software, but nothing is 100% safe.

That’s true, but I’m not a programmer and on a GitHub project with 3 stars I can’t count on someone else doing it. (Of course this argument doesnt apply to big projects like libre office) With Microsoft I can at least trust that they will be in trouble or at least get bad press when doing something malicious.

I mean if a github project has only 3 stars, it means no one is using it. Why does safety matter here? Early adopting anything has risks.
This is kind of a false comparison. If it has 3 stars then it doesn’t even qualify for this conversation as literally no one is using it.
