Hello...i use electrum from long time, and i am remember how once my funds where completly stolen (i simply clicked to ,,send,, write my password and all my balance was sent to other address) it was very clever hack and many people lost their funds that way. After that i moved to ledger but i dont like the ledger honestly, too much overprotection too messed up, too slow. So now i am back to electrum and i use 2fa code + very strong password. My question is , is that safe enough or what can i do to improve the security? Are there still cases of stolen funds from electrum? The nightmare of loosing all my balance still gives me goosebumps honestely .

Sorry to hear what happened to you. There is no 100% guarantee as long as you use a desktop wallet on an online machine (well, there's never a 100% guarantee, but there are safer setups that give you better odds of keeping your hard earned btc), and i personally wouldn't use 2fa in electrum since it's fee based (and i don't like that).

Do you have an old laptop or desktop machine laying around per chance? If not, you can always buy a refurbished one, or even an rPi. If you really want security, and you don't want to use a hardware wallet, you probably could look into an airgapped setup using this old (or just cheap) hardware. Just remove the wireless card (or the drivers), don't configure any network interfaces, don't plug in your ethernet cable, install linux and try to follow the docs: https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/coldstorage.html

Using testnet for a trial is recommanded!
