Alternatives to hardware wallets

Considering the latest events, im not willing to trust any hardware wallets again.

Ledger was one of my main wallets but need to rethink those options soon and move my funds, as by now im only holding Bitcoin and Ethereum mostly.

Alternatives for Btc wallet : Creating a Bitcoin core node on a computer using bitcoin core + sparrow wallet, or other wallet like mycellium, electrum, blue wallet.

Alternatives for Ethereum : Gnosis safe, i like this option as its possible to use multisig, and create trusted users, so the funds need approval of these users to be moved out of the safe.

MyEtherwallet

Metamask

Zengo

Argent.

My main idea is to use hardware i already own, could assemble a secondary desktop computer, with parts i have here, this computer would be offline, not conected to the internet, just with one of these wallets for Btc and Eth.

Would this be a good idea?

could also buy a laptop or a phone for this purpose, these devices would be offline, never acess internet and no sim card either (in case of the phone)

Any one uses a similar setup for their cryptos?

Any feedback on Gnosis safe? anyone using it?
