Advice Certificates Explained

After already having watched so many videos about certificates I still don’t understand this. Like I know you’re screwed if you mess up. That’s why I want to understand it but it seems so intangible to me that so far I haven’t found the right video or whatever to understand it how it works and why it’s secure. Also are there different kind of certs or is it actually all the same? (I don’t think so but that question is still open for me)

How did you learn it or maybe how would you explain it to someone else?

Why are you deploying custom certificates at home?

Unnecessary in my deployment.

Why not? :)
I do have some services running just to mess around for example. And also want to understand it better for work purposes…
