Is the Electrum wallet really one of the best recommendation for bitcoin newbie ? Tell me what is the reason. Currently I am still using an android phone for daily need and browsing this bitcoin forum.
It is hard to say which wallet is the best choice for one person.
Electrum is light and friendly to use. You have to read documents as always and make a few attempts to practice and get familiarized yourself with it. It is a SPV wallet, see more description there SPV (Electrum.readthedocs.io)
