I meant destop wallet as a wallet extension for hardware wallet, like the reputed and the recommendable electrum wallet, and also the ledger live desktop software.
While Electrum is very good, Ledger Live is not. I recommend the use of Ledger Live only for firmware and software updates. I've seen too many people surprised by it; sometimes it was only not sync-ed, sometimes it was worse. Safer to avoid from start when there is such a good alternative.
Any company can make the mistake, it is Ledger Nano today does not mean it can not be Trezor tommorow.
Maybe I am not as forgiving as you are. The hack was bad and the steps done afterwards were disappointing.
Just days ago somebody complained about another problem with their shop - his details have ended up at another customer.
I don't think that others can make this many mistakes in a row.
So there are lot of vulnerabilities in Safepal wallet and Ledger's data was leaked in last months, so where do we go ? There are not much options avaible when it comes to the hardware wallet and we have to choose between these or quit the idea of owning the hardware wallet.
You can buy from an official reseller. Or even better, read the steps you should do to buy safely and see if you can follow them.
Also, it's not only Ledger and SafePal, there are 2, maybe 3 alternatives from what I know.
The point is to secure your funds from anything - from hackers to the 5$ wrench. And that requires a bit of attention.
