You can see the list of open source hardware wallet here: Open source hardware wallet

I will recommend passport.

Some people also recommend Keystone.

I would have recommended Trezor but the recent coinjoin with the help of Wasabi makes coinjoin to be censored and no privacy anymore as the transactions are monitored by Chainanlysis.

As for Ledger Nano wallet, it has been on of the worst wallets that I can not recommend anyone. I do not recommend the wallet before because they were careless with customers data and also the secure element in all their wallets are all close source.

Pretty cool. Thanks for sharing. This is just what I've needed. You can never trust a company (Ledger) that could easily side with the government for unknown reasons. The private key/seed recovery service tells us the company is already compromised. Why not educate people on how to protect their keys instead? It goes against their claims that they cannot access or know your keys.

The hardware wallet is closed source (AFAIK) so there's no way to know how your keys are stored/encrypted on the device. I really hope open source alternatives win for the good of the crypto/Blockchain industry. Who knows if Ledger is bound to die soon? Just my opinion Smiley
