Good open source cold storage crypto wallets? (programming.dev)

I'm getting into crypto and am thinking about setting up a cold storage wallet on a USB drive. Do any of you all have favorites you'd reccomend for a newbie like me?

I think the options here are driven by which coins you'd like to hold and whether you'll be interacting with hardware wallets. If you're thinking Bitcoin, and have a particular hardware wallet in mind for the future, perhaps give Electrum a look. BE CAREFUL WITH WHERE YOU DOWNLOAD CRYPTO SOFTWARE

For sure. I'm not installing anything without verifying it first.
