Screw software to begin with — what you need at the start is education. You can have a hardware wallet and the most secure devices in the world but you'd still end up screwed if you know what you're doing.

True!

When in doubt, don't click!

Also true! But even experienced users make mistakes with this. Especially Google makes it very hard not to click on a phishing link: both their Search Engine and Gmail love to track every click you make, so instead of showing the real URL, it shows something encoded with google.com in there.

The software that I think would be useful for beginners/non-tech savvy users

VPN
Password Manager
Anti-virus software
Two-Factor Authentication app

I think we have a different idea of what "non-tech savvy" means: I know people who after 10 or more years still can barely open a word processor or copy a file. They click a bit without reading anything, and that's how they go from "content consumption" to "content consumption".
For those people, a simple Android wallet on a non-rooted phone could be safer than installing stuff on their PC (which might be filled with virusses already).
