Non technical normies won't self custody. That's always been a lost cause.
I’m afraid to recommend anything at this point.
learn how cryptography works at a basic level. use a chatbot to give you a rundown, ask questions.
the best cryptography is already sitting in most linux distributions, and in the kernel.
sell your iphone and macbook, install linux, ubuntu is basic and good, and easy.
also, learn about how hackers operate. first line of attack is always psychological. most people are starting to become alert to various kind of phishing attacks. the environment is getting ever more hostile - i have been dealing with an AI powered marketing racket trying to sell some shit to me, posing as a recruiter, selling other, probably same operators, "consulting" services to me, in a job market that is getting crazy stupid.
the first part of how they did the coldcard attack was inside the coldcard dev team, and the marketing team. and not just them directly involved, other people were recruited to sell it. the bad RNG was just the lever and the force was human.

Haha what a question !! 🤣🤦♂️
A: BECOME MORE TECHNICAL
And... maybe put in advance long enough with the material out before jumping into the water ignorantly, blindly and naively due to FOMO (lack of emotional intelligence)
Hyper bitcoinization is an attack on the network, and only people with extremely short time preference have fallen for it and propagate this. Unfortunately, most people nowadays lack the mental horizon to recognize it as an attack.
Money-hungry people take advantage of the difficult situation by offering after the scam of coldcard, affiliated links to other hardware wallets.
Instead of teaching how to offline dice roll your seed and use a strong self chosed passphrase, on top of a good self custodial wallet with it, which would by the way, costs you zero dollars.
What an incredible rat move.
