I have mixed feelings with Ledger. On the one hand they have a lot of features and are very user friendly but on the other side their software (firmware) is quite buggy/unreliable. Additionally they leaked the home addresses of their customers some time ago…

If the amount of coins is not material I would go with coinbase wallet (non-custodial) if you have an iPhone. If the amount is bigger and it is bitcoin only I would go with the coldcard wallet

No, you should stay very far away from them.

Besides their products being entirely closed-source, they also managed to leak very detailed customer data (that they weren't even supposed to keep) not once but twice. This lead to several cases of sophisticated and very persistent identity theft, robberies, and even home invasions, which Ledger did not even apologise for in any meaningful way.

I dont understand "technical" people buying these sort of things... a crypto "wallet" is just a private/public keypair.

Just store your keys I a Keepass file and make multiple copies of it. And maybe maintain a printed copy of your keys.
