Hi, I've been using Blockchain .info from a while, I'm willing to switch to an offline wallet, I don't feel 100% secure with Blockchain, can you suggest me one?
And some tutorial noob-friendly that explain me how to use it?
I mean, if my PC one day stop working, I lose my BTC? Or if I use a USB drive to store BTC, if the USB stop working, I lose my BTC? I have a lot of doubts about offline wallets, if anyone can clear me that, would be great
Thanks very much, hoping in some answers
P.S. Good new year!

If you want a software wallet I'd suggest you use either:
electrum - which is a wallet that stores your addresses and private keys on your computer (the private keys not beign owned or seen by electrum's central servers AT ALL).
or
Bitcoin Core - although it does require at least ~110GB to download the full bitcoin blockchain.
(With an electrum wallet, there is a simple way of exporting your addresses and private keys to a CSV format and electrum is probably more secure as there is more protection - your private keys are encrypted using a seed, the seed is encrypted using a password. Therefore, a strong enough password will make it extremely difficult to hack your wallet).
