what is the best secure wallet can i setup on desktop computer ?
If you're going to hold that much amount of bitcoin, mate just spend the $70 and go buy a cheap Ledger Nano S[1]. It's a small price to pay for your security. This is definitely something you don't want to cheap out on.

You got cleaned up once, and yet again you're going for a desktop wallet... A decent hardware wallet starts somewhere in the $70 range, maybe $140 if you go for a ledger nano X... That's nothing compared to the loss you suffered today. Learn from your mistakes, don't repeat them.

Just curious, after how much bitcoins should you consider storing them in a hardware wallet?

My first one was a ledger HW.1, it was dirt cheap (like 20 euro's if i remember correctly). I bought it when i was holding only a couple hundred bucks worth of BTC.
You should consider a hardware wallet as an investment if you're serious about holding crypto. It doesn't matter if you only hold $10 worth of BTC right now, if you're planning on holding more than $500 at any point in the future, you might aswell spend the $70 and buy a ledger or a trezor, it'll come in handy when your portfolio grows.
Or he could just get one for free if he doesnt want to spend even that much to safe keep his cryptocurrency.
Free raffle for a keepkey. I know not as good as the ones you listed but still it is a starting point at the very least.
